That's where you're wrong. Any patch you write that is technically sound and shows a measurable improvement will most likely be accepted. And any patch you write that is not technically sound will at least be thoughtfully reviewed, with an explanation why it is not technically sound. But until there is a patch proposed, we can't review it. And ultimately, this is open source - even if your patch is not accepted upstream, you are STILL free to use it in your own environment for your own speedup. In other words, you should have all the incentive you need, regardless of what we say before your patch has been written. --=20 Eric Blake eblake@redhat.com +1-801-349-2682 Libvirt virtualization library http://libvirt.org --------------enigD7F3A15629B53C08E48F55A5 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: OpenPGP digital signature Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.14 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Public key at http://people.redhat.com/eblake/eblake.gpg Comment: Using GnuPG with Fedora - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iQEcBAEBCAAGBQJMCTO9AAoJEKeha0olJ0NqBlkIAKUng6SPQ/NFusi2snWg1Stm G/W8AA7SQofHeoxhmCz6VB4XRJgq4PIHlDqhF16ubJIoRK9RhbTGfji8fx5tRSKZ Q+WUs38RRA5p7aJABPtw9CoeOjF8MAY5t4sY4iEm3257lCIoC5NEiYhGRgFeyhvv ijJo8XF9DuQrLOXBKN36ArFfCMXCUiARE3ie8TOm7WDShCNmGo8BEQ7UpsObSY1u JKR+Bf6GankAm3L5+MJje0U/WtMYTYO86calhiqCHEORzCwK19NglFAEcbBQy9UR OYnV1/vJauLwDfjlgSCSnQ35c7ttFXjgd4vJB22udFyUX8B4CAvs8BT2uuYQKTc= =mknu -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------enigD7F3A15629B53C08E48F55A5--
