I rejected the DVB-S2 proposal when I first read about it -- which
was when you asked Mauro to merge it.

The discussions about the DVB-S2 API that followed were dragged
out over a period of serveral weeks, if not months.
And at the end of the discussions your proposal looked
totally different than your first one. And the agreement
was that you and others implement a driver and show
the API works in practice, then it can be merged.
I'm sure you will tell us when you think it's ready.

The list archives can tell the full story. Since you are
so good at finding stuff in archives I'm confident
you can find the key postings if you only want to.

I told you many times that I'm not interested in DVB anymore, thus
I won't spend my time reviewing code or discussing architecture,
especially if it's sent to me in private. I'm really so out of
it that the details escape me anyway.

The reason why I speak up here occationally is that I do care
about Linux' as a whole. I try to help out if I think
things start to go wrong in DVB land. Too bad you see this
as a personal attack or a Markus vs. Manu thing. :-(

The merging of em28xx has in fact absolutely nothing to do
with DVB-S2. So we merge em28xx now and DVB-S2 later.
What's the problem?
