It's not "improve", it's "Greg does not want you adding new features and
functionality while the code is in staging." I want you to spend your
time on getting it out of staging first.

Now if something needs to be done based on review and comments to the
code, then that's fine to do and I'll accept that, but I've been seeing
new functionality be added to the code, which I will not accept because
it seems that you all have given up on getting it merged, which isn't
ok.


It's not that people have given up on getting it merged but every time patches are posted, there is really no response from maintainers perhaps due to their lack of interest in embedded, or perhaps they believe embedded folks are making a wrong choice by using zram. Either way, a final word, instead of just silence would be more helpful.

Thanks,
Nitin
