Thanks, v6.14 is totally fine!

I have a quick question on logistics. /proc/kcore typically only gets a
handful of patches per cycle, if any, so should we add fsdevel to the
MAINTAINERS entry so I can ask you to queue up patches in the vfs tree
once I've reviewed them? Or should I send pull requests somewhere?

Thanks,
Omar
