That's fine, I would consider that part of the "patch dependency" case
I mentioned above.

My motivation for commenting on this is that I've seen a few recent
cases where some other subsystems have been quick to merge SELinux,
etc. patches and I just wanted to ask that some consideration be made
as it causes us (me) some level of pain.  If there is a good reason
for it, that's fine, being a maintainer is a life of pain ;) but if it
is simply to just get the patch merged into an upstream tree a day or
two earlier I would please ask you to exercise patience and let it be
merged via the appropriate tree.
