Hi everyone...

I'm at the Linux Foundation meeting at Tahoe, I've been
asking around some, I know we need to do things differently
now that we are upstream... there's several things in my mailbox
besides what Martin has done that need to go up...

I think we need, during the rc period, to post our patches here
in case anyone wants to look at them, put them in our for-next
branch so that all the robots can test them, and then after
a week or so post a pull request similar to Martin's for them,
but from our kernel.org tree... pull requests for reviewed code
from kernel.org doesn't need signed tags...

Does that sound mostly right?

-Mike
