I'm not sure if he was talking about just merging changes, but yes that's also true. David holds the bag for /usr/src/sys, I hold the rest. :-) I'm not sure how we're defining "The release engineer" for 2.1.x anyway, but in the past this has usually been the guy trying to make it all install and run for more than 10 minutes without collapsing and verifying that it matches whatever external standards for "new and improved" people have come to expect of a major point release. This guy has not generally been the happy guy. With the last couple of releases, however, we've begun to share the task so that "release engineer" is more properly "release engineering group" (thinking specifically of my recent collaborations with Gary and Poul-Henning). Since I hardly desire a return to the bad old days (release engineer == 1 person), I'd be more than happy to see this idea continue to evolve. Heck, I'd be happy to see the group, period! :-) There's quite a bit of work to do already piled up. Jordan
