Well, there is this silly idea that I have that a single graph can be made in which every patch in the patchdiag.xref can be plotted with its dependencies connected. There seems to be a few oddball points in there. Well, a few where the patch number exists and then multiple revs that make no sense. See above. :-\ >> So I am guessing that the "O" in the sixth field means Obsolete ? > > Yes.
