Literally, RFC means request for comments. Personally I differentiate between [RFC n/m] and [PATCH RFC n/m], where the lack of PATCH means "don't commit this version" and the latter indicating "I'm not so sure if this is how we want to do it, but if people agree it can go in". ;) Not sure how [RFC][PATCH n/m] is intended here? If everyone adds RFC to a regular PATCH, it looses meaning. In the course of review when you feel the patches are okay to be committed, RFC should disappear as you may well get comments without asking for them anyway. :) HTE, Andreas -- SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, Maxfeldstr. 5, 90409 Nürnberg, Germany GF: Jeff Hawn, Jennifer Guild, Felix Imendörffer; HRB 16746 AG Nürnberg
