I use it, but not in the way you think I should be using it.  Your not
getting to your will on other kernel developers is what this thread is
all all about, ultimately.

I don't get to work on ext4 full time, and so every minute I put on it
has to not a be a waste of time.  This includes updating status
messages for patches that aren't obviously not applicable, or
superceded, but rather something that I might get to look at later.
