Sure.
Well basically beta2 is "almost there" and I think we could start to
work in beta3 features/fixes. However I think beta3 needs to be faster
then beta2 was.
The current list of things that should happen on Beta3 is:
- kernel update to 2.6.25
- parted update to 1.8
- fixes
All new features now need to be careful check before commiting. Mostly
because we need to be ready to release at any time. So all features
need to offer testing images for review and we'd decide case by case
depending on how deeply are the changes if it'll be accepted or not.
About this patch specifically, it doesn't look too risky and I think
we could try to make it happen in time for Beta3. Let's do our best to
properly test it.
Cheers,
