Sure, provided it's also tested on non-x86 architectures as well. At the moment, someone did a "clean up" of linux/tty.h includes which has broken the 99% of the ARM defconfigs, and despite this patch being in -mm and allegedly fixed by akpm for ARM, the result is still massive breakage. Hence, -mm is probably far too different from mainline for include cleanups to be properly tested before they're sent to Linus - iow they need an additional level of testing against Linus' tree _prior_ to being submitted to Linus. Apart from that, I've no problem with anyone who wants to clean up the include mess. -- Russell King Linux kernel 2.6 ARM Linux - http://www.arm.linux.org.uk/ maintainer of: 2.6 Serial core
