Well, partly in order to be fair. I did consider letting architectures like microblaze just off the hook entirely - it's not like it will affect a lot of people. But at the same time, I don't want to be in the situation that some people get to send me patches just because I don't happen to think that their changes will matter to most others.

And at this stage, I'd rather be too strict than too lenient. If -rc3 has no new regressions, and fixes the ones that hit people worst, I'll be very happy. I can be more open to patches after I get back, if it turns out that I was _too_ strict for -rc3.

As to the number of "no, I won't take it" emails, I suspect a large part of that is simply because most developers (understandably) do not read lkml, stauing mostly on the development lists that are more specific to their particular area. As a result, there's no real way to reliably reach people, and I end up sending basically the same message several times.

Which obviously tends to also then make the messages more cross ;)

First of all let me apologize for this situation. There is no excuse
that I sent new features in requests after rc.

I've changed my workflow and I will send new pull request with the strict regression fixes only. There will be only two patches which I would like to add to your tree.

Thanks and sorry for hassle,
Michal
