Right. Please remove it where you didn't make significant contributions. Simple changes or even removals don't justify IBMs Copyright on the whole file. I don't think this is acceptable.

Seems like you fixed them already.

The only tier1 failures I observe are also failing on the master branch. I'm happy for a second tester if either of you feel it's warranted, but I don't feel it is a necessity.

That sounds good. There are not many people working on AIX. You may be alone. But, I'm glad you're doing it!

Be warned: This may take time. You certainly want your change to get integrated at some point of time.
