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
