I just did a clean branch creation from the original master, and it occurred to me that some valuable history and attributions from the 4.7.2 branch might be lost.\r\n\r\nDo you have a preferred way to proceed - either forking from 4.7.2 or perhaps merging 4.7.2 back into master and I shall fork from there? Please let me know your thoughts - thanks!

Then re-add the patches to the `galliumos` directory. You'll see that in the other versioned branches, along with some notes.\r\n\r\nI have a 4.9 branch locally already, but I haven't begun porting the patches (or determining what porting will be necessary). If you want to wait for me to push that branch, you can just pull it down and not worry about the logistical/process parts."}}
