Well, I have a different opinion, and that's all there is to it. However, differing opinions aren't tolerated within the kernel community even if they are equally valid, so I'll just shut up about after this mail. > And?

You seem to have missed something in that paragraph.

Maybe it should be mach-kirkwood and not mach-mvebu by your reasoning then!
