I might feel bad about those, if not for one thing - their authors
had explicitly chosen to keep them out of tree and did not bother
to watch what was going on in linux-next - these changes had been
there for quite a while. And now you have a chutzpah to come and
complain about that? Better yet, we are expected to be working on
fixing those? Really? It's not a rethorical question - I seriously
want to know whether I'd misparsed what you meant to say.
