David Hans asked me to send a patch for testing, I sent it, and made clear it was not a fix for current net tree. RFC is like 'I throw a patch, I am not even 50% confident of it, please comment and fix my bugs'. Most busy people just ignore it. In this case, I know it really fixes a problem, but since its a day-0 one, its not meant for net tree (linux-3.5) I don't know what's wrong with ignoring patches and consider them later when net-next is open and various Acked-by or Tested-by signatures were added, as done by other maintainers. Just make clear that if a patch is not anymore listed on http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/project/netdev/list/ , the author is responsible for resending it with all added signatures ? We need to exchange ideas (aka patches), even in the merge window, or if the subtree maintainer is busy doing its own job.
