I would really appreciate if you stopped diverting this thread. If you don't have anything to add regarding the patch in question, then please hesitate from commenting. If you love eblits that much, then please take appropriate measures to get them into the next EAPI. Because so far your non-productive comments on any effort of cleaning this mess up reach the level of pure trolling. -- Best regards, Michał Górny
