So, at first I was giving you the benefit of the doubt, presuming that you were not deliberately sending me patches that might break because they included dependencies on changes that I had explicitly rejected (several times) in the past. You've now made it clear that it was deliberate. A few of your patches have helpful clean-ups, but the bother of dealing with such nonsense[1] just isn't worth it. Please don't waste time by sending me any further patches; they will be ignored. Thanks, Michael [1] https://marc.info/?l=linux-man&m=154743115806201&w=2
