Hi Greg,
Thank you again for your support when we send patches for stable versions for MPTCP!
Recently, I sent many patches for the stable versions, and I just wanted to check if what I did was OK for you?
I tried to reply to all the 'FAILED: patch' emails you sent, either with patches, or with reasons explaining why it is fine not to backport them. Are you OK with that?
Or do you prefer only receiving the patches, and not the emails with the reasons not to backport some of them?
About the patches, do you prefer to receive one big series per version or individual patches sent in reply to the different 'FAILED: patch' emails like I did?
One big series, per kernel tree, would be ideal as that way I don't have to pick them out and guess as to the order.
Also, if you don't respond to the FAILED emails, that's fine with me, I don't keep track, but maybe Sasha does as I know he does backports based on them at times. So I'll let him answer that.
But in the end, whatever is easier for you is good for us, thanks!
