I guess we should specify when it was submitted, when the information is
available. This may help us identifying the patches that Tomacz did forsee
and that we need to resupply after a while.

Likewise, when stuff is integrated upstream, I'd be really cool if we could
know when it was so (something like "at least 4.0.9"). This will help the
move to the next upstream release. When a patch will not apply, we will know
quickly if it's because it's already applied or not. Without this
information, I'll feel concerned by stuff in upstream CVS, but not in
upstream release yet...


That being said, I'm really impressed by the work you guys do. I'm reduced
to a contemplative position for now, but I hope I may join the furry soon!

Bye, Mt.
