Thanks for the sound advice.
Linus, as we are getting closer to the end of the merge window, here's a patch (in my next e-mail) against your current tree removing many occurrences of "the the " in the kernel source code. I hope you can merge it at this stage. This way we will just have one commit in the tree instead of many more if I had to go through multiple maintainers.
Thanks in advance,
Michael.
