Ah, indeed. I missed the distinction of 'all _qemu_ patches' are already going to the qemu list, but this is about non-qemu patches. I guess I was thrown off because I first read this message as cross-posted onto the qemu lists, rather than its primary audience of the kernel list. But it goes to show that when more than one non-overlapping list is cc'd on an individual patch, it gets harder to tell which list the patch is meant for, vs. which other lists are just getting it out of courtesy. So you've just managed to convince me that including qemu-devel on every driver patch, when qemu.git will not be modified, may indeed be overkill; when compared to the option of just creating a new dedicated list for the subset of kernel patches related to qemu drivers. -- Eric Blake eblake redhat com +1-919-301-3266 Libvirt virtualization library http://libvirt.org
