So basically, what you are saying is that, totally regardless of how much an architecture is actually used in the field, if the architecture maintainer for it doesn't also do your work and contribute to every single of your pet projects, or if everybody is like you, every single other subsystem in the kernel, then that architecture is irrelevant for technical considerations and choices regarding any design decision made to the core kernel ? Sorry Ingo, but that's just arrogant bullshit. So stop trying to win this useless argument, all you manage to do is anger people and make us even less willing to actually work with you. Cheers, Ben.
