Ah, indeed. I missed the distinction of 'all _qemu_ patches' are already going to the qemu list, but this is about non-qemu patches. I guess I was thrown off because I first read this message as cross-posted onto the qemu lists, rather than its primary audience of the kernel list. But it goes to show that when more than one non-overlapping list is cc'd on an individual patch, it gets harder to tell which list the patch is meant for, vs. which other lists are just getting it out of courtesy. So you've just managed to convince me that including qemu-devel on every driver patch, when qemu.git will not be modified, may indeed be overkill; when compared to the option of just creating a new dedicated list for the subset of kernel patches related to qemu drivers. --=20 Eric Blake eblake redhat com +1-919-301-3266 Libvirt virtualization library http://libvirt.org --qGNR0NePEcbnsu3Ibu4DRbWKixqlnPeiB-- --qFmB0b0oamqkpdhTCxr2A5oaRL0nKWKb3 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: OpenPGP digital signature Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2 Comment: Public key at http://people.redhat.com/eblake/eblake.gpg Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://www.enigmail.net/ iQEcBAEBCAAGBQJYNK7mAAoJEKeha0olJ0NqZyMH/0r9+HJ+UaEr6M0+jHiu+d50 hzRkqTacyuQHxUkIEUoWNXcH/eGQigtzU6hEOJcTs8astq19+ZDb+IEO26PM2d0R C9RjREGRt/OCuWZY7VUwhlOBPE52ad1leMv+/+usfOlvbLiZfZD+Vzihpux3v4KW yc2OHEf61B4xGQ4EmH49dMk3EcdbkvUBjGjovXFuNME/3hO8/o0pjPdF4Ti1HR9Y efqgUPKFbTf5YnQRNWsVn8yjiP4wlLcGCY2iXPmWSUqYiA1QkisHXjnhBJKpJov9 0V6qyRQ/+G0vuhseKFOyJGa9xD0GRYCmrSx0buea5kTCbB0/UzsrBbfX4mo4AOI= =3x7C -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --qFmB0b0oamqkpdhTCxr2A5oaRL0nKWKb3--
