Unless there is something actually broken - that was previously working - by 
this patchset I'd rather not revert it. This patch was sitting acked for a month
which is a reasonable time for comments before applying it. Allowing people to
step up post-apply and look for patches being reverted is not something we want
to encourage IMHO. There are already too many reviews being done at the last
minute, and allowing reverts may make that situation worse, while applying acked
patches within a reasonable time - irrespective of whether people subsequently
find issues with them - should encourage earlier reviews, and makes it easier on
contributors.

Therefore I'd rather see any additional enhancements or changes
done as incremental patches on top of this set.

Regards,
/Bruce
