Dear Vinod,

 Since it came from the RMK, most probably it'll be the best.

But applying patches upon personal timeout seems very dangerous.

Ehh what?  Is there any contention over this documentation patch?

I haven't yet read it... even after reading I would object only if I found
your patch disturbing enough to disrupt my bowel movements. Which
I don't think would be the case.

Jassi,
Since this was a doc patch, I applied it soon enough, doesn't sound
dangerous to me !
If you have any updates you would like, pls feel free to send a patch.

I just observed it is second time that Vinod applied a patch without any
ack or prior alert.

And you can't ignore the fact that you had almost _two_ weeks to ack the
patch from Rob, but....
You will get ample time to ack a patch, if you don't you can always
point out and I will do the right thing, which in this case was to
revert.

People not responding doesn't mean only either people agree completely
or they don't care. Some might be interested but too busy with current tasks
that they need time to check... please make some policy for such cases.

It already happened with the patch from Rob, which you probably have to
revert.

IMHO, if nobody replied, maybe you could first ack the patch and wait
for, say a week, before applying?
That way people will know they have to hurry if they care otherwise
the patch is going upstream as such.

A week is far too long.  That's how patches get lost and missed.

He may decide to wait shorter, but imho a week after the first ack
isn't that long.
