I have asked you to update felix _prior_ to my patch update, because
I forsee the possibility for there to be breakage from pushing the
PCS support further forward.  In other words, I see there to be a
dependency between moving forward with PCS support and drivers that
still use the legacy method.

You don't see that, so you constantly bitch and moan.

Please stop being a problem.
