Please do not strip linux-trace-kernel, though.

(For zero > day bot stuff, the bot chooses the CC lists). Which is fine. I'm care more about new features, as tracing / scheduling / etc affect the entire kernel. Changes in DRM usually only affect DRM. But a scheduling or tracing change, could affect DRM, which is why I want to keep those patches going to the generic mailing list. -- Steve
