Moreover, I used to get regular complaints about the old "regular rebase" process. We switched to a "pull and merge" process for 2.6.25, and in that period nearly all of the process-related complaints disappeared for me. To some degree this is a "pick your poison" issue, and for most people rebasing seems like the deadlier poison. John -- John W. Linville linville@tuxdriver.com
