It accumulated a bit because the .18 cycle was relatively long (and i also did more patches that usual myself, but most of that was just cleanup and general janitor work) I normally do the main bulk the two week merge window and only important stuff afterwards (usually two or three smaller merges with more stuff and then only critical bug fixes in small batches until release). You want merges more often or more spaced out? I currently planned to do better spaced out posting for review at least (to not overwhelm the various mailing lists). It would be possible to do the merge towards you shortly after that when patches cooked a bit in -mm*. But it won't follow the two week window all that much. -Andi - 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/
