I'm not, both a developer and more important as an user. I beg to remind you why Marcelo was picked, not only for his skills, but also because he was so universally friendly, and easy to talk with. I couldn't imagine Marcelo wanting to hurt anyone. To me that's important, I could never disagree with the Marcelo pick. But this is basically the opposite in my view. A maintainer needs qualities that go beyond technical skills. I think it's Greg's fault of course, I'm not blaming anybody else, but this clearly shows that the tree of trust has its limits, hence I'd like a different system to elect the new maintainers that has a better chance to work. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
