It isn't about finger-pointing, it is about a failure of process; we had
a process that would have caught this problem and the process failed.
There are certainly blame enough to go around, but I think one of the
things here is that lack of response isn't necessary an ACK - it may
actually be that the patch looked at first glance like it had no impact
on our area (incorrectly as it turned out.)
