If what you want is patches appearing on the list, I'm not unwilling to make that change. I take issue, and indeed even dig my heels in, when the only people asking for that are _only_ yelling about that and aren't involved otherwise. But you will find that if you talk to me as one human being to another, where we can share and listen to each other's concerns, I'm more than happy to be reasonable. But I'm not going to just toe the line when it's just yelling. Seriously. Because the last time you flipped out over a pull request, I spent the rest of the cycle telling people "x y and z are fixed, but you'll have to build my tree instead of running a released kernel". And that gets tiresome; some of the bugs were significant - and no issues to date have been found in the stuff you kicked back, which tells me my process is just fine. So let _that_ sink in. In order to support my userbase, as well as iterate to find the _next_ set of bugs, I have to be able to ship bugfixes in a timely manner, and if that's going to keep being an issue perhaps I should be having those conversations with distro kernel maintainers now, instead of later. > > Let that sink in. > > Seriously. > > You completely dodged my actual argument, except for pointing at how > we didn't have process two decades ago. > > If you can't actually even face this, what's the point any more? Face _what_ exactly? Because at this point, I can't even tell what it is you want, what you're reacting to keeps shifting.
