Ok, thanks for explaining. I was (somehow foolishly) under the assumption that you don't really like unclear bug reports reassigned from src:base... Now I see how this is foolish, if you don't like to deal with bug reports you probably wouldnt (be able to) maintain src:linux ;-) Thanks for all your work btw, reading the wheezy 7.1 kernel changelog was quite impressive! cheers, Holger
