I don't have anything from Dmitry at all, even in my spam box. Maybe he discussed it with you only?

So you believe that the current (in-tree) behavior is superior to either of my attempts thus far to fix it?

Can you characterize what an acceptable solution would look like? The behavior of the code as it stands is really not acceptable; the MacBook Pro touchpad's buggy behavior in Linux is extremely frustrating, relative to its flawless behavior in OS X. My patchset has not introduced any regressions that I can observe, and in fact it has nearly eliminated the spurious drags. (I still get one occasionally, but maybe at a rate of ~1% as often as I was seeing them before.)
