That doesn't make a lot of sense, Dave. Just because I _submit_ them to
Linus, that doesn't mean he automatically takes them.

I only said I'd submit them directly to Linus because I _think_ he'd
agree with Andrew and I, and take them despite your objections. And
because I think that's the right thing for him to do.

I wasn't going to hack hera and just put them into his tree by myself.

But don't let me talk you out of taking the patches... :)

I'll do that; thanks.
