Don't introduce four letter words then.  You know the drill:
good *technical* arguments are what should win.

I agree it would have been easier if I had asked to merge this
earlier; like for 2.6.18 as originally planned, or 2.6.22 ... sigh.
It never got to the top of the priority list until that Makefile
patch forced the issue; and merge windows are filled with stuff
that's higher priority.

Thing is, I've never been one to prefer short term hacks when
a good long-term solution is available.  In this case, that
solution has been used for over 9 months now, and was presented
more than once on LKML.  Even now, there are no good technical
counter-arguments.  So I still think this is the "right fix".
