There hasn't even been any kind of discussion yet you already come
around with a "Well complete NAK"
First, this can be seen as rude behavior and me being part of the drm
community I don't want to have to see this kind of thing.
Obviously, any kind of strong "technical" review point is a nak until
people settle with an agreement on what to land, there is no point in
pointing out a "NAK", especially if that's the first thing you say. If
you want to express your strong disagreement with the proposed
solution, then state what your pain points are directly.
If there is a long discussion and a maintainer feels it's going
nowhere and no conclusion will be reached it might be this kind of
"speaking with authority" point has to be made. But not as the starter
into a discussion. This is unnecessarily hostile towards the
contributor. And I wished we wouldn't have to see this kind of
behavior here.
Yes, some kernel maintainers do this a lot, but kernel maintainers
also have this kind of reputation and people don't want to have to
deal with this nonsense and decide to not contribute at all. So please
just drop this attitude.

I'm sure it's all documented and there is a design document on how
things have to look like you can point out? Might help to get a better
understanding on how things should be.
