If its a big change, you are suppose to split it up into smaller patches and send those (so they can be applied one by one). Beyond that I don't know of any rules. When patches are ignores, that usually means that it got lost in the mail.

BTW, You can always come into the IRC channel and ask about it there. > > Regards, > - Dave -- Infinite complexity begets infinite beauty.
