Is that a joke? I'm going to assume that you're not serious!

Well, you choose 3 - I do think it'd be a lot easier to go with option
2, or with applying the rest to your tree as acks come in. There seemed
to still be a reasonable amount of discussion on the MFD bits (eg,
there's some formatting comments still) so I was expecting this series
to churn some more and was waiting for a resend."

"So not apply the first two patches and share a branch like you said
above... TBH these serieses would probably be a bit more legible if
the branch were created with just the MFD patches, that'd also mean
smaller cross merges."

IRC:

"<b*****e> Probably the easiest thing is a tag with the MFD bits and then I can apply the regulator patches?"

Etc ...
