Which is also something that having a branch with the patches is helpful for - it allows glibc people to look over them and point out coding standards issues to be addressed globally by people less familiar with the conventions used in glibc. (Though when those issues are addressed the fixes should be integrated into each patch as part of a rebase, rather than simply adding another patch to the branch that fixes coding standards issues with the previous patches.) (A branch close to current master also provides a basis for anyone working on build-many-glibcs.py support for Hurd, if you don't already have such support among your glibc patches.) -- Joseph S.
