I find it a little bit irritating when I receive a patch directly addressed to me to review, but I don't see the "00/34" cover letter. I want to see what this series is about, and what the motiviation for this change is. I'm also highly frustrated, in general, with mix-and-match CC: lists for patch series. Just put everyone relevant in the CC: for the entire series. That way I can easily inspect other parts of the series to see infrastructure buildup, and examples of other conversions or versions of the change. Thanks.

The problem I had in the past is that vger rejects email with too many CC addresses. (It also rejected email with __smp_XXX in the subject suspecting it's spam :( ) I'll look for better solutions next time - for now, would it help if I bounced the whole patchset to you? -- MST
