It's a pity that you chose such a reaction.

I find that I suggest to improve something. Could you admit a few times
that I found a "bug" you care also about at other source code places?

Can it be that you express a lower value for the Linux coding style here
than desired as there might be other concerns behind such negative feedback?

How do you think about to discuss corresponding facts further?

When this implementation detail is so official, I wonder then why some
software developers can become "special" about the proposed update step
like for this module.
