I've seen spelling fixes and incorrorct changes get accepted from non maintainers "instantly", while the maintainers changes are not accepted. Considering how long it took for the last set of driver changes to make it from -ac into kernel.org, I just assumed that this strategy was also failing. Is that really the only way to get updates into Marcelo's tree? -- Justin
