Well, I would at least expect a description of the patch being posted.

Something like "new 100% $(AR)-free version is available" does not
tell me anything. It does not explain the rationale of the patch, nor
what was changed (list of files etc.), or why. It does not even
mention why the patch has not been posted.

Oh, yes, by now I reas that other posting as well, but there was no
threading used, so all this was completely out of context.

Sebastien: For a new version, I expect at least to see the full
commit message and diff-stat information posted (i. e. all what git
format-patch gives, except the actual patch data).

Best regards,

Wolfgang Denk
