The really annoying thing is that someone even replied to your AUTOSEL email for
that broken patch and told you it is broken
(https://lore.kernel.org/stable/d91aaff1-470f-cfdf-41cf-031eea9d6aca@mailbox.org),
and ***you ignored it and applied the patch anyway***.

Why are you even sending these emails if you are ignoring feedback anyway?

How do I even get you to not apply a patch? Is it even possible?

I guess I might as well just add an email filter that auto-deletes all AUTOSEL
emails, as apparently there's no point in responding anyway?
