Actually I'm surprisingly calm. Don't know why. :-) I must be getting

Hm.. Is that really a good reference? Honestly, RTAI tends to be a
little bit chaotic from time to time. Also, I think multiple lists

Yes, and that's all that we ask for. Well, not quite all: all
maintainers have to give that promise, of course.
