Martin, you too will go with this ? Well, all changes are easily
traceable in the svn repo, so nothing untoward can happen, but then
sure, it would be better to have the svn changes sent to the list.

Ok, let's do this then.

Well, it seems Frederik is wanting to take responsability for the amd64
patches, which judging from the bashing he got here, nobody here is
taking. And this is a good thing, we need at least one responsable for
each port, and even if Frederik makes mistakes or something at first,
which i have not the feel he will do, they can be easily fixed, and we
gain a good team member who will care for the amd64 port.
And i have not been really impressed over the dictatorship Jens and
Christoph have gained over all decisions regarding the packages, so
please don't add to their authorities this way, especially as i didn't
see you participating and following those discussion here.
And know it, when we meet in Karlsruhe, i was very near just dropping it
all, which i doubt is a good idea to handle a team member, but then
maybe the kernel team would be better of without me ? I don't know,
maybe, but then please don't keep the illusion that this is a team work.
Friendly,
Sven Luther
