We only started taking the updates via the scsi tree Seven hours before you posted this, in <20070807001429.f8cb3b22.akpm@linux-foundation.org>, Andrew already noted it was not in -mm. A trivial examination of the broken-out mm patches backs up the absence of Jens' block tree, too. So let's put this myth / bad assumption to rest, shall we? > Yes ... particularly in large trees like SCSI, there's the maintainer > "bugger if I don't mail it out now I don't get it in for another three > months" factor. That factor always exists. It's not confined to SCSI or large trees. It's basic the nature of the merge window. Nothing new or shocking here. > bsg had actually been sitting in the block tree since 2.6.21, so it had > followed the delayed merge rule ... it just seems that it didn't get > enough integration testing in that six months. This is what I consider It didn't get integration testing, at least in part, because it did not hit our official pre-release tree.

There > were just a few integration issues. I wouldn't call bsg carefully matured, if in addition to not really gracing -mm with its presence, the userland API structure is still getting changes on July 29, 2007 (0c6a89ba640d28e1dcd7fd1a217d2cfb92ae4953).
