Thanks.

I'll try to remember ...

It broke a linux-next build - just how genuine does an issue have to be?
Even if I knew you had already fixed it, I would still have reported it
(although saying where I got the fix from) so that others know why I have
had to apply a patch.

During the merge window, linux-next is not concerned with the _next_
merge window (as my previous reminder to people spelt out), but very much
with the current merge window.  What you don't seem to realise is that
others use linux-next during the merge window to do integration testing
after fixing up their trees to cope with stuff that Linus has already
merged (in order - as much as possible - to not break Linus' tree).  So
when you break the linux-next tree, you make life harder for them.

So, how much of your time would have been "wasted" remembering to put
that fix into the linux-next branch compared to my time and the time of
others?

And don't bother responding (especially privately) I don't need the
aggravation.  If you feel a need to reply coming on, just delete this
email instead and pretend I didn't write it.
