They should be being dropped as, as a result of this ongoing madness,
I've requested stable to no longer consider *any* of my patches for
AUTOSEL treatment.
I'm afraid that the stable kernel is loosing its purpose, and is
becoming just another development tree as long as this autosel
process exists that picks up what are development patches - coupled
with the "if you don't respond we're adding it to stable anyway"
approach means that it's a hell of a lot of work for maintainers to
be watching what stable is doing 24 hours a day 365 days a year with
_no_ possibility of having a break from that.
As I understand it, the autosel stuff is using an AI to work out
whether the patch is suitable or not, and no one bothers to look at
the quality of its selection - that task is loaded on to each
maintainer and requires said maintainer to never take any time off
from that task.
It's madness.
