What is the pragmatic alternative if so many modules were just broken within
the maintainership of your personal authority? I am sure I won´t get no
answer from you to that.
Leaving your personal attacks aside, this is a general rule in the
kernel.
Please read the section "Break up your changes" in the
Documentation/HOWTO file in recent 2.6 kernel sources.
[ some more personal attacks against Johannes ]
Some things to have in mind when doing kernel development:
- we are humans, each with own faults
- many people maintain a part of the kernel in their spare time, and
"real life" is sometimes more important
- Linux kernel development has rules, e.g. some of them are described in
Documentation/HOWTO
If you think Linux kernel development sucks that is no problem - the
Linux development model has both advantages and disadvantages (not that
I was happy with every detail) as with every other model.
If you don't like it, there are several other good open source operating
systems available and perhaps one of them fits better with your ideas
how to do development.

According to his demands, it seems he would be better off using closed
source OS-es like Windows, and pay even for drivers. And he would be
served promptly ;-)
