Well, some things in letux-base are purely historical and inherited from 3.7-neil...
So they might be wrong today.

Well, if your code is better, we can remove all WiFi historical patches from
letux base and put yours on top (which is then the same as linus/master for this
subsystem).

Well, I hope that git is clever enough to handle this situation (mv detection sometimes
works). And similar things will happen in the drm/gpu parts. There, they even have
duplicated some subdirectories.

We will see :)

Anyways my plan is indeed to start a new letux-base and 4.5-rc1 on monday.

BR and thanks for pointing out,
Nikolaus
