The pull request all looked sane, the diffstat looked clean and non-intrusive, and I had no problems with any of that. But the virtualization people always argue about the fifty-eleven different ways of doing things, and unlike real drivers - where the actual hardware places constraints on what the heck is going on - virtualization people seem to revel in making new interfaces weekly, and tend to be only incidentally limited by hardware (ie hardware interfaces may limit some _details_, but seldom any higher-level arguments). So when I see another virtualization interface, I want the virtualization people to just argue it out amongst themselves. Thanks to the virtue of me personally not caring one whit about virtualization, I can stand back and just watch the fireworks. Which is not to say that I enjoy it (I like the occasional flame-fest, but in order to like them I need to _care_ enough to get fired up about them!). So I just don't want the in-fighting to take place in my tree, so I'd rather see the fighting die out _before_ I actually pull. You people are all crazy.
