imho, if you post on users you have a problem.
if you have a problem, it can be an "hard" limit by xen code.
if so, only devel can understand it.
(and i AM against cross posting :)

as you can see, it's not properly a testing/unstable question, cause it is
already solved.
but, not for stable.
and, last post is a patch. that is for users (use it) and devel (if written
wrong, or if they want to do it better, or ...)

you are right. and for mtu question i should open a bug in bugzilla.
but in first mail you can read:
--
Therefore, I propose getting some important rules together for posting
to this list, and publish them at some central point (e.g. at the
subscription page at xensource), so new people can read it _before_
subscribing. (BTW, I am not sure if the subscription messages contain
such info already, but obviously not everybody reads them).
--
that is enough for me.
i hope this netiquette will be accepted asap.
bye
