Re: [PATCH v3 00/10] sysctl: Remove sentinel elements from kernel dir

[Joel Granados]

Just a heads up: will add this to the sysctl-next tree
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/sysctl/sysctl.git/log/?h=sysctl-next
so it has time to soak there for next merge window. If you are a
maintainer and are thinking of including any of these patches in your
tree, let me know and I'll remove when upstreaming
