So your first few mails were OK, but now you are coming close to
a dozen emails in my mbox alone, and the thing is, there's over
4,000 FIXME's in the kernel source:
comet:~/tip> git grep -i FIXME | wc -l
4415
These FIXME's are there to warn active developers about issues to
work on - and they generally get removed when that code gets
fixed or changes later on, typically without generating any
separate commit. (Sometimes they don't get removed for a longer
time - there's not much harm as eventually they will be removed.)
In other words: please stop this stream of mostly pointless
emails! Instead of generating 4,000+ additional emails, please
try to find some real bug to work on?
Thanks,
Ingo
