So you think letting it soak in the merge window and the churn of -rc1
(which currently doesn't boot for me due to an ide issue) will provide
more validity than a specific "There was an infinite loop in the
filesystem, there is now no longer an infinite loop in the filesystem,
here's the specific test for it" and visual inspection ofthe patch?

*shrug*  I hear what you say.  It's certainly a point of view.
