I'm not sure what July 4th has to do with this: the mail you've replied to was more than a week old.Today is July 4th. You're in the US. Instead of _taking a day off_, you feel compelled to respond to this email. Put the computer down; do something that you enjoy.
Being very open here: I'm in the middle of a family vacation right now. I find social interactions very draining, and tend to look for an escape once in a while, and my escape sometimes ends up being doing what I liked doing in the past as a hobby and doing now as work - kernel stuff. To me, I'm on a fun vacation, and get to do things things I love doing: spending time with my family, grill, relax on the beach, and review kernel patches. Is it weird? maybe, but this is me. My bigger point is that "vacation" means something different to different people, your view of a "put the computer down" vacation works for you, but it doesn't work for everyone else.
I'm saying the culture is wrong if people can't take time off. And the process of "reply to this email within three days or we'll commit the patch" is wrong because it prohibits people from taking more than three days off.
No, take your vacation, and if we got something wrong we'll go back and fix it. If development has to stop because individual developers need a break then the process is unsustainable, and you shouldn't be attempting to make it work. -- Thanks, Sasha
