Subject: Re: [GIT PULL] [PATCH v4 00/26] Delete CURRENT_TIME and
 CURRENT_TIME_SEC macros

Thank you for the suggestion.

> Who are you execting to pull this huge patch series?

The last pull request was addressed to Al as per Arnd's suggestion.
I'm not completely sure who should it be addressed to.

Arnd and I tried to do this a few ways.

We can try to introduce the api first like you suggest.

There are a few Acks already on the patches.
And, patches 2-5 also need to be merged through some common tree like
yours or Andrew's as you suggest.

So, if everyone is ok, I could do the following:

1. Post patches 1-5 for rc-2.
2. Post all other patches to respective maintainers after rc-2
3. Then after patches get ignored or merged, post remaining as a
series for you or Andrew to pick up.
