[Intel-wired-lan] ixgbe: 5.10.0 kernel regression for 2.5Gbps link negotiation?

[Fujinaka, Todd]

I apologize, it's Outlook 365 here at Intel though, which means threading is broken and I’m going to get OOO messages from everyone but me because it's the holidays.

They're all on the mailing list and they don't fix bugs unless they get pestered anyway, but I'll follow your rules.

Don't do that. This is what "Message-ID" is for. People don't get multiple copies of the email, because any sane MUA will see that they are the same message even when they came in through two different paths.

Of course, if some maintainer has a broken MUA, that's one thing, but I would expect kernel maintainers that deal with a lot of email to not have quite _that_ broken a setup.
