Sorry for being short, but I'm on my way out.

 1) they're not my patches, but they're useful to me.

 2) I didn't specificly ask for them to make it into this release, I
    said "before or after".

 3) I've asked before and go no response.

 4) I can't commit things to -current.

 5) I know how the system works, but it requires someone to commit
    the patches and no one will.

 6) Please watch your destination, that mail went to
    freebsd-stable@freebsd.org and stable@freebsd.org.

 7) One of the other patches was usb related and has already been
    committed and MFCed because it was assigned to someone who did
    something about it.

My question still stands, can these patches get in, somewhere ?

P.
