And it's clear you have utter disregard for them, and security as a whole. In your idea of the world 'there are no secrets'. Good luck with that. > But anyway, enough is enough, and I really am not interested in this > discussion. I wish you the best of luck getting your patches merged. I > suspect you're gonna need it. I submitted them so other people could benefit from it. In the end I could care less about what you do with them, or if they are merged. Now that is clear that trying to do so is a waste of time and energy, I'm free to go with a clean conscience, knowing that these patches didn't help others because I didn't try to, but because some council of vagueness decided it doesn't fit their particularly flawed view of the world. See you in the next commit fixing a kernel vulnerability silently that puts the infrastructure of several organizations at risk for your own disregard.
