I don't think Linus puts limits on your merging, you're just too unfleible to send him the right patches. Secondary architectures do get broken once in a while, and other maintainers can cope with that just fine. That's of course not an excuse for this breakage, as you might have notices I actually did steps to prevent arm breakage and just got it wrong. > Folk *need* to spend more time testing their work before submitting > it upstream.

I just tried to build five of them and all of them haven;'t been updated for ages and need answering of a gazillion questions during make oldconfig. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-arch" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
