I completely missed those on the very quick search I did on the topic. Sorry. I will ignore "Issue (2)" then and wait for your patch :) > One more thing, even if it's an RFC it would be much easier for reviewers if > the patches were sent as git format-patch (one each email) with a cover > letter, discussing your RFC, so anyone can use git am and b4 to apply the > patches. Thanks, I was not sure whether I should send individual emails for this, considering that, after the feedback, they might be dropped. But now I know. Once I receive freedback on whether the "fix" for "Issue (1)" is a good idea or not, I will resubmit a proper patch. Thanks.
