So the one issue I had with that, is that if one tries to send an email to all arch maintainers + linux-arch + linux-kernel, the header gets too big and vger chokes and davem slaps you. So while its possibly desirable to do big unions with 0/xx and the like, its practically infeasible. --SIhMtSQSYpXpqifs Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.12 (GNU/Linux) iQIcBAEBAgAGBQJTf2+qAAoJEHZH4aRLwOS61y8P/R31PO3PdXkwzC+dChd1vVwF 7vC9OX2ibOAj9GdYUPwfU6mromo9192lBMT7cfKLtd+Bvf59AFnkA2udQBJ3wvZe Y11fJ7WkXqzukgO+FfDFVzPbmj1poKn/ZGt6snm8PJIkqOhL9kwPz0ZnuVaunpC4 UiF7vWKrkyDCCnFvPrMS6Y+/GiN79tJFrhlbGian5s9QmacDE4RsnCEDyniWjt7k dDY6Y49pxW6OPRUzuuqrE+mQZucPpA4CENYvSMk2akJADbvlhlHDKv6GkhkwSUwD l5NSeCPRkHvK9PLsMysbCWdEWl7Fr3M3quxGIJeioUFYlxzM3TglGv4A1WFxY2dj FjDqoV7fcVCZ1nVogIQ/Cr/wjIV3eu1AmKHGsFwqVh0ErvdZeSmE2FQp6kvRjXGJ oGioGkPkGtFHK6SbWrkvAKzrmAAkkq5vI6vS/6u154D8ywV31O54kD2GpuIkfWfj 4yTJL+v0W75jPoOQXcqFJmknE7gJkVuqnZp/+xk0caWNeuzgJnCjtpu+Z6TYynON yIURM5UVhzOfJUg/UtFfykgBOEfnUc6Tn2bvXtgesrgeidJc0VOjM4vVreF7Y23D ZyLCB6SFXxPeZ4bbl40l8Foi4mqp3cNRgDxjGA0ssz2mUPzcRP+qU99nWwgYVtc4 OH1DzyZCHqrCkDnhb85O =hxID -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --SIhMtSQSYpXpqifs--
