Specifically... In short: If the changes are generally needed, I can live with them (as long as I know what patches to revert :-)). Still it would be nice to let people know what to do if they have problems with these changes. Many people don't run -rc kernels and even more people don't run -mm, so they have no idea that there are known regressions ...
