You must be kidding. The original post is from Wed. Aug 8th and your ultimatum mail is dated Mon Aug 13th. That's a mere 3 working days. > mainline.

You seem to misunderstand what pushing into -next means. -next is not a playground for random changes. It's an integration tree for stuff which is supposed to show up in the next merge window. And stuff which touches other maintainers trees needs to orginate from there or at least be acked/reviewed-by those maintainers. Why should -next have different rules to mainline? > > If you really cared about my opinion you could have figured out that > > I'm on vacation. > > Ah... sorry but it's not like we date or anything. Fortunately not. I wouldn't touch such an insensitive clod with a ten foot pole. Though other people whom I'm not dating either are sensitive enough to send a polite mail after a few days: Thomas, I figured out on IRC that you are on vacation. Would you be so kind to look at the patches I've posted 10 days ago? .... Do you see the subtle difference between a polite reminder after 10 days and an ultimatum after 5 days ????? Thanks, tglx
