I'm still open to bug fixes, but they had better not be "go look at vger,
some of the stuff there is bug-fixes". Anybody who thinks that that kind
of approach works is pretty misguided.
No one is telling you that, _everyone_ who maintains the video driver
layer is telling you "look at Martins patch", nothing more. If you
continually ignore him, you are the roadblock, plain and simple. So
instead of being a roadblock, please express your grievences about
Martin's attempt to merge things with you.
I repeat "There is nothing else in the VGER tree" that you won't take
"as is" other than this video patch. The rest is "port stuff" that
doesn't touch any Intel or generic code.
Stop pointing fingers towards "vger", people are sending you patches,
continually, and are being ignored and not being told why _even_ after
you had told them you would accept such a patch for the video
subsystem.
(The missing piece of this whole puzzle, which Linus is conveniently
not mentioning, is that a month or so ago he told Martin in email
that he would take _one_ more large video driver subsystem patch to
get the updated drivers and bug fixes in, and only one. Now, he is
not living up to his word.)
