Yeah I try to ack as many as I can now, but couldn't possibly do as
many as I do if I had to build test them all, especially with my own
code to write and a family/full time non-kernel dev role. It is
certainly desirable for the majority, but if the code looks
good/correct and is a simple patch then in my mind an Acked-by is fine
to give in any case. That said, I will no doubt make mistakes on that.
