Hi,

Christoph complained a bit about the staging tree. He said that it
breaks allmodconfig builds, but that problem was evidently fixed a while
ago. He also dislikes the Lustre filesystem, which has been in staging
for some time now; Greg agreed and said that he would like to delete it.
It was generally agreed that the work being done on Lustre is not
substantial enough to justify its continued presence. Christoph also
said that the use of the staging tree for code that is about to be
deleted could be improved; there are, he said, people doing white-space
fixes on doomed code.

Could anyone clarify it?

-thanks-
