Hello Linus,

Well, so bottom line of this, as far as I see it, is: Gerrit is de facto tool for Android, and for Linaro Android we'd like to be sure that it supports more flexible/advanced approach than which is seen typically in Android shops. It's also nice idea to select single official Linaro git review tool. But I agree that Gerrit doesn't immediately fit with canonical kernel workflow, while its choice is almost fixed for Android by upstream usage.
Note that QEMU also uses GIT but has a different workflow that probably doesn't fit Gerrit. Linaro GCC uses the Launchpad merge request system which fits our needs well and matches upstream's style.
I've yet to find two projects that have the same workflow.
