Are you trying to tell me that after 6 weeks there is still no public tree to hold future IDE changes? If this is indeed a case here I hope that it will get addressed ASAP.IDE is deep maintainence, we shouldn't be doing lots of changes, cleanups, and things of this nature. So urgency and timeliness is on a sincerely different scale for it.
Nobody is saying anything about cleanups and things of this nature..
On the other hand, if you've been looking, I've been applying networking patches to net-2.6 and net-next-2.6 by the truckload on a daily basis because it is in active development.
Excellence in one area doesn't magically translate to other areas, especially when said area needs a completely different approach: I've been looking and I've seen you pushing non-trivial IDE bug-fix patches with almost no wider hardware coverage to upstream (i.e. one of my own patches which has been _explicitly_ marked as needing more linux-next exposure)..
