If a -nice _tree_ is useful, your guys just have to launch it. Gosh this
could reduce
arguments about what goes into the kernel and save Linus and Andrew lots of
work.
Yes.

Busy enough with testing, actually far too busy for being on a volunteer
basis ;)
I am sure that better qualified and properly supported/sponsored individuals
will queue up as long as it is an _official_ -nice tree with the good
purpose
of centralizing useful non-core functions :)
I'd say that having official -anything tree is an oxymoron (is -ac
tree official? is -mm tree official?), but yes, I hope someone picks
this up

Pretty does not count above, Ugly does not count here, Functionality always
does.
Besides that patch might be in the -nice tree.
Prettyness *does* count in -linus tree. -nice tree is likely to have
different criteria.
>swsusp really should not have patch any code outside kernel/power.
Which is extremely ideal, but one thing at the time...
Okay, lets not please add more of outside changes (for -linus merge).
