So he should at least be able to name the relevant PRs. Or name at least one. Then nobody would complain. But stating "it's all well documented" without providing evidence doesn't help. I for one was not able to find any open PRs that deal specifically with 3ware hardware and 6.3, but not 6.[0-2]. > He has also stated that there is no need for him to > provide further evidence of an already documented bug Agreed, but he should name the PRs he's referring to. You know, my crystal ball is at the shop for a check, and it seems like everybody else's is, too. Kind regards, Patrick M.
