I'm guessing stuff such as "dtc merge" could reach those sizes? Since it's somewhat common to cross-post patches (especially some of the @de.ibm.com guys seem to post to 2-5 lists at a time), having a limit higher than other lists could mean we see the same (large) patches several times in case they bounce from other lists and get reposted. But it should be a small fraction of the traffic no matter what. -Olof _______________________________________________ Linuxppc-dev mailing list Linuxppc-dev@ozlabs.org https://ozlabs.org/mailman/listinfo/linuxppc-dev
