Steven,

Your concerns about testing make sense, but this were already tried in the
past, when Uri started sending their patches at the ML. So, instead of
repeating the same novel, let's merge the patches at the development tree and
ask people to test.

Yet, I'm keeping the Siano patches at the 'pending' -git tree, where I hold
very experimental work. I intend to hold it there until we have more tests and
have all the pending patches merged.

About creating an -hg tree for Siano (and for other developers), I had to nack
it in the past, since the LinuxTV server were overloaded. Now that the machine
got replaced, I think we may actually create a tree for them. 

Uri, please discuss about this in priv with me, in order to exchange the needed
information for the login account.



Cheers,
Mauro
