I think we need a change log, so we can see which feedback has resulted
in changes and which has not. Otherwise we'll end up needing to re-read
the patch frequently. I'll be straight up and say I don't read every
version you put out, especially in recent months. You can really expect
most people to eyeball it only once, so we need a way to ensure every
reviewer's comment that results in a change is tracked.

I wish I had done this myself with async commit, though the
changes/suggestions were relatively modest in comparison to HOT.

Perhaps if we start that from now on? That will help as we move towards
final reviews and commit. We seem to be discussing smaller aspects of
the patch now.

Perhaps also posting a diff of the patch versions would help, so that
you can easily see exactly what code has changed since last time...

I agree and I shall do that henceforth. In fact, once we know that
people have started looking at the patch and would like to see
the incremental change, I shall post a combine patch as well as
incremental diffs from the previous version.

Thanks,
Pavan
