I am using NetBSD 10.1 with the corresponding kernel source tarball and so was surprised that I didn't have the qt fix and thought my source tree was out of date. (!)

However and per cvsweb, the fix by Rin is dated Oct 21, 2024.  I double checked the tarball, fetching a fresh copy from cdn.netbsd.org [1], and it contains dev/qbus/files.uba version 1.17, dated Mar 11, 2008.  10.1 was released Dec 16, 2024.  I wasn't sure how to check when 10.1 was frozen/forked or whatever and so am unsure if the source tarball is missing Rin's fix due to an oversight or due to branching/forking/release practices.

As for pullups, I'm not completely clear on what those are.  Since these drivers are included in GENERIC and because the fix for those compiling a custom kernel is "easy" and well documented here at this point, I don't see any reason for special handling/inclusion/publication and feel that the standard handling/release process is probably ok.  But, again, I'm a little unclear of the particulars.  Maybe one of the more senior port-vax participants like Johnny or Ragge should comment here?

Ps.  What mailer do you use/recommend for quoting?  Outlook, sadly (don't laugh), is not very good at it, it seems.
