I left my comments when I believed it was most appropriate for me to intervene (as someone who isn't really affected in any way by the changes, except for generally maintaining what's in net/dsa/, and wanting to keep a clean framework structure). Also, to repeat myself, blaming me for leaving comments, but doing so late, is not really fair. I could have not responded at all, and I wouldn't be having this unpleasant discussion. It begs the question whether you're willing to be held accountable in the same way for the dates on which you respond on RFC patches. > I've *tried* my best to be kind and collaborative, but I've been > ignored.

I think you should continue to try your best to be kind and collaborative, you weren't provoked or intentionally ignored in any way, and it isn't doing these patches any good.
