I suppose I'm asking, so yes :)

Your exact quote: "And last but not least, I think we should not push
your changes to the master branch of mtd-utils _befor_ the
corresponding kernel-space changes have reached Linuses tree (e.g.,
dwmw2 might dislike something)."

So I suppose it was just waiting until the kernel changes passed
dwmw2. Now's a good time to merge 'brian' and release, I guess.

Thanks,
Brian
