I remember at least seeing middle-end pieces in alias analysis. > Aldy, RTH, Torvald and Red Hat appear ready to address any problems promptly. Sure, I was just asking for a good reason to merge it now, given that I had the impression the desire to merge for 4.7 is a bit rushed (given that the branch wasn't kept up-to-date with trunk until very recently and trunk regressions were still being fixed). I'd like to see some breakdown into subsystem patches. Can someone provide those together with changelog entries? Thanks, Richard. > - David >
