  Well, then what we expect from such reviews at all? ;-) The patch
forwarded includes description of how such situation happened, as well
as what was done to resolve it - basicly, all the patches made last
week were removed with only one trivial and obvious hunk left, so
ipaq-sleep is back to its state as it was for years in OE. If
there're more questions, I'd be glad to answer them.

  Well, each of us separately knows this, yet noone does anything
about this. And we also know that there's no global solution for this
currently. For example, OpenMoko is not a solution as of now, due to its
bloat and inefficiency. I have some RFCs in mind regarding this, not
sure when I'll be able to get them out, but at least let's try,
whenever someone has ideas for gradual improvements, to provide
feedback and support. Because just sitting and waiting for
great thing come our way won't get us anywhere - when they will
officially come, we'll find out that they solve some problems, while
aggravating others and posing new.
