Alexander Wirt is both the Debian package maintainer and (probably) the author of both of the two discussed patches (and only a single person as far as I know). I don't consider it rude to notify him of the comments made about the patches he's been carrying for a long time. While doing a couple of fixes to iproute I thought it would be best to not only submit those but all the patches that has been carried in debian for review upstream and possibly inclusion. The extra review seemed to have been a success so far and I will fix up the patches myself if I have to. If you want me to STFU please just say so and I'll give you all my sincere appologies and go back to the status quo of no fixes shared with others. -- Regards, Andreas Henriksson - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netdev" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
