I don’t have anything left. Please await the conference call on Monday for a final decision.

Please consult with Arne on this. There are lots of small details that need to be considered.

And I am sure he has a branch with an updated kernel somewhere already.

However, I really would like a new kernel in this release, even if that will take us a few days longer.

I was awaiting some response from Anthony. I am not sure whether we can take silence as approval but since he has approved the previous version of the patchset which has just been extended, I am sure this is okay to merge.

This is something for Arne.
