Someone on your team needs to participate upstream or you need
to get your patches reviewed from someone upstream-savvy before
posting.

Anyone participating in netdev reviews would have told you that
private flags are unlikely to fly upstream.

One part of an organization participating upstream while another
has no upstream understanding and throws code over the wall is
a common anti-pattern, and I intend to stop it.
