Perhaps it's just me :-) but I think we're trying to codify the rules way too much. The general rules (merge window = new features etc) are obviously ok but why do we need strict details like intrusive vs non-intrusive etc? People should just use a common sense and good judgement and, if in doubt in some particular case, ask. We are unable to describe all situations in a single text file.
Me2 :) That may be a flaw in some parts of this doc is that it tries to get too detailed, too rigid, etc. for a process that is more fluid and has lots of independent parts each working in its own slightly different way. It does seem like there is value in much of what's here, but there just aren't any black-and-white rules for exactly how patches are handled. jake -- Jake Edge - LWN - jake-T1hC0tSOHrs@public.gmane.org - http://lwn.net -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-wireless" in the body of a message to majordomo-u79uwXL29TY76Z2rM5mHXA@public.gmane.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
