I'm not going anywhere in terms of upstream kernel - and as David suggested - I am happy to be pinged on threads where my input would be helpful :) But in general I'm dropping the R: for now as I feel it wouldn't be quite correct to keep it, as I can't really give much time at all to THP, and it wouldn't be fair for me to be listed but remain inactive. I may very well revisit this in the future, but for the time being I think this is the best way forwards. Thanks again for the kind words, much appreciated! :) > > Thanks, Lance -- Cheers, Lorenzo
