Look, take this up with the management.  I'm stating the facts.
There's a half-dozen or dozen or so developers here generating
patches for the ppc64 tree, and *everyone* (with Hollis as a
clear exception?) has been operating the same way.  The patches
go into the sles9 tree, the ppc64 maintainers have the responsibility
of accepting or refusing the patches and of syncing the trees.

Personally speaking? no, not next week. I've got a backlog of bugs
to clear out first, and when that queue shrinks to zero, then I'll
get a chance to do new development.  I was hoping to start
six months ago; but its been emergency bug-fix season, which seems
to be winding down.
