Hopefully. ;-) Actually, it does make sense - It still doesn't prevent someone from announcing a higher level person for a subsystem, or even a person at the same level. Announcements shouldn't be rigid, it's up to who the lieutenants will accept patches from. They can still accept them from outside the announced lists, though that may increase the amount of effort. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Jesse I Pollard, II Email: pollard@navo.hpc.mil Any opinions expressed are solely my own. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/ | ||||||||||||
