I'm not debating the usefulness of the U-S field, I'm debating the usefulness of using 'Pending' as a catch-all. I can do:

for patch in *.patch ; do
	echo "Upstream-Status: Pending" >> $patch
done

And it will get accepted, but is ultimately useless.

Anyway, I added proper U-S fields (not 'Pending') locally and will resubmit later this week.

Koen
