Thomas, Atul, All,
I'm CCing Geoff as this patch series was originally designed for this stack:
Docker Runtime / \ Golang Aufs-util | Aufs-kernel
These are all dependencies for Docker, which is the primary application right
now for layering filesystems.
As such I will soon (tm) pursue getting my Docker patch series to also build on
top of these new contributions towards the Aufs and Golang package series. This
is what I will use primarily to see if they are working as expected in a target
use case.
Thanks for working to improve my patch series Atul, I have read over and
completely agree with Thomas's suggestions and look forward to your next
revisions.

Once a release is made it's quite unlikely that they will add any patches unless
they are security critical or major bugfixes. You could if you want pin some
known versions to commit hashes but I think it'd be better to stick with
branches for now.
Thanks! Christian Stewart
