No arguments from my end. I've been attempting to get what I have in some sort of state that will: a) compile cleanly b) have some basic structure to work from. c) have something in basic (read block / write block of data) working order. Just when I find time to get point a), I rebase and am back to cleaning up the conflicts.. Then I look over what I've done and decide that the code should not be inflicted on anybody :) > > As discussed, it's not finished at all, but it's easier to work with > the in-tree code rather than out-of-tree code. > Agreed.
