Aha, I think this is just a misunderstanding -- I'm certainly not suggesting that Hanjun rework the current set! What I *am* asking for is that they go into mainline with Lorenzo's patches on top, which means that his series [1] needs some review (and I plan to look at it later today). > And, as a maintainer, you can always say "Well, I'm taking this conditional on > doing this-and-that on top of it and I won't be taking any more patches from > you in the future if that doesn't happen." I can't really take that stance for a new feature like this.
