It's only that it gives me the idea that Laurent Pinchard actually works inside Coca-Cola then Ford and so on. At the least this is my understanding at first sight. What I've found not easy at all instead in my patch is to deal with the Acked-by: from the Sponsor, because he could have to do that for(let's say) 100 patches, and it becomes not easy to check. I've been pointed that there is already the DCO the prevents from fake Sponsored-by: tags removing the need to send Acked-by: from the Sponsor. So I would modify this patch. But before I'd really like to have more feedback by someone else if possible. -- Giulio Benetti CEO&CTO@Benetti Engineering sas
