Glad to hear that :) > Other than sashiko, it looks like there hasn't been much activity on > v10. What are your plans for this? I have been focussed on getting the LASS KVM series ready for merge. That is ready for Sean to look at. Now, I am planning to focus on FRED KVM for the next few weeks. I'll go through the Sashiko comments this week and respond to them. > Are you going to rebase and repost after the merge window closes? > Yes, assuming that the Sashiko issues are minor, I'm hoping to time it with the KVM next branch around the -rc2 timeframe. > Is there anything else you know of holding this up? I've listed a few opens in the cover letter but most of them are not gating. There is *a* solution included for each open (except for the INT1 event type issue reported by David). However, depending on the KVM preference the code might need to be tweaked. Overall, I think the patches need some human reviews. They have been cache cold for a while, so I thought reviewers might need some time to refresh. With Plumbers done and folks in PRC back from holidays, hopefully we can build some momentum and get this series merge ready :)
