And then suddenly the code flips in there.... Well, I can certainly appreciate where Soren is coming from in this. BTW: Steven did put up for review a month or so ago. He announced it being in ~swallace/inew.tar.gz or something like that. I saw it and had a quick fiddle, and even mailed a copy to a few people who asked for it. While I certainly would agree that he could have handled the import better.. He stomped on Bruce's work area as well. IMHO, it really should have waited till after 2.1 was out, because David has explicitly requested to hold back on importing stuff as it was making his life difficult. There are other things that some of us are holding back on for this reason.. It's kinda annoying to see others bypass the request... Sigh. Oh well. Still, hopefully we end up with a more complete ibcs2 as a result.. :-) BTW: It looks like he's merged with your code rather than completely replacing it. A least I've seen that he uses your imgact_coff.c.
