You're confusing Denis Vlasenko with Vladimir Oleynik, and I never banned 
Vladimir from the list, I just yanked his svn commit priviledges.  (He's the 
one who chose not to post patches to the list.)

I occasionally disagree with Denis about stuff, but that's true of everybody, 
and I trust his judgement enough that I offered him commit access.  I think 
he's doing great things with it.

(Ok, I disagree with him about #defines vs enums, and I wince at the large 
number of changes he's making to mount, knowing how long I fought with the 
sucker to get all the pieces in place and how darn _subtle_ and 
interconnected and undocumented it all was, and how there's all sorts of 
weird stuff like how the vfat filesystem is just _broken_ (/proc/mounts spits 
back all sorts of stuff you didn't feed it), but only after 2.6.15 or so, and 
earlier versions didn't do that...  He'll learn. :)
