   Argh rather. The linux-usb bureaucracy deserves stronger expressions. :-P

   Brialliant. Better later than never, though.

   With Felipe disappearing again, not only 8 MUSB fixes posted by me 
prior to 2.6.28 hadn't gotten into stable kernel, now there's little 
chance they can get into -rc1 and so no chance for my several (yet 
unposted) cleanup/reorg patches to get there as well... sigh... :-(

   You forgot to mention my several prior mails -- succeffully ignored 
as well, unless they all managed to fall thru the cracks somehow...
