Note, it was an exception because I wanted the change. There's changes
that add things I see worth while for others, but probably not so much
for myself. Those changes I wont be bending over backward for. If
someone submits a change that I really want, then I would do a lot to
make sure its in.

For an example of a change that I see worth while for others and not
for myself is live kernel patching ;-)  If those developers want those
changes in, they need to follow the process :-)
