> [PATCH] Select root-fs by UUID or label
I have mixed feelings about such a patch. Am too lazy to elaborate.
> [PATCH] /proc/partitions show startings sectors
I didnt like this patch. The existence of /proc/partitions is important. Without it one could not reasonably support mounting by label or UUID. But now that we have it, changing the format is harmful; there should be a very good reason for doing that. And showing starting sectors is not so essential. Nobody wants to know them. A utility with a 10-line source would print /proc/partitions with an additional starting sector column. Also, e.g., "hdparm -g device" will give you this.

Should everybody complain as soon as he disagrees with anything? The linux-kernel list would explode. Generally the people maintaining various source trees are discerning enough to weed out most bloat.
