not testing, you mean? :-)  To summarize thus far:

1. What we consider a "reasonable test" of any kernel change has always
   been a relatively clean build of LINT.

2. Doug built LINT.

3. The sound code you had problems with is enabled in the LINT configuration
   (the old, not new Luigi code) and thus, assuming that everyone did their
   bit correctly, *was* tested by Doug and the failure must therefore be in
   the testing method itself.

4. If building LINT is no longer a sufficient test, we should determine
   what *is* a sufficient test before we start flaming people.
