I appreciate this. However, when things go down to a problem of manpower, the very first initiative common sense commands is to avoid wasting it. And the first way I know to avoid wasting manpower is : - displaying intentions ! I have asked here, in 3.4.9 times, for the intentions of the gentoo-sources regarding the 3.4 LTS and was answered that it would not be followed. Fair enough, because I wanted the ck-sources to follow it, we made the job of reviewing all upstream's patches from 3.4.9 up to 3.4.18 and from there up to 3.4.23... and then discovered the gentoo-sources catching up from 3.4.9 to 3.4.24. Of course I do not blame anybody for this, after all, each to his own. However, the result of this is that we (as GS+CK) have almost certainly achieved a great part of the dirty job twice ! Hence my first question regarding the gentoo-sources project's intentions regarding the 3.6 and 3.7 branches. Regards, Eric
