I am sure there are many patches like that in OE, they are written, 
tested and then forgotten about, our goal here is to not let them get 
forgotten.

Daniel,

I think Khem has already said that we are taking incremental steps here, 
as I mentioned in my prior email, we have over 1200 patches lurking 
around in OE currently, initially we have about 460 as marked as pending.

If you can fix those issues, since we can't address all of them 
initially or be experts in all upstreams, we would be very grateful to 
remove 1 or 2 more patches.

Thanks for your understanding.

Sau!
