Roland, well, with few variations, this goes way beyond a year. I would say more or less half of the time you're wearing the maintainer hat (2005-now). The practice of updating your for-next branch to rc1 only few days/hours before the the kernel is out and the merge window opens, is an attitude, not lack of resources and will not be solved by whatever processes people suggest. You need to act differently. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-rdma" in the body of a message to [email protected] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
