I sent hrw/poky-rpm branch for review on 19 November 2008. It contained 
nearly same set of patches but needed some work. **No one** (except 
Koen) looked at it. Thats why I sent whole branch as patchset to ML. 
During first hours it got at least 3 persons who read patches and gave 
ideas how to improve their quality. Tom Rini even started builds to 
check does everything works on his build machine.

And yes - patchset should be squashed but I am tired of that branch 
because I work on it since start of November.

And no one has to - whole patchset is available as GIT branch and I 
wrote about it in first mail.

The good thing is that I do not plan any such big merges in near future.
