Hmm, I don't really care if that will be merged. I have no motivation to
fight with Linux kernel maintainers and I don't know if I will spend the
necessary time to do so.

The people you need to convince are Rob, Greg, and me, and you've got my
attention. If I'm convinced, then I can probably convince Greg also.
You've got an interesting approach, and I hope you won't give up on it.

Sorry, but that point of the view is already a problem. Why do I have to
convince you people?

To summarize:

Linux kernel maintainers

- don't like code they haven't written theirself,
- don't like code which doesn't look like they have written it theirself,
- don't like ideas they haven't had themself,
- do feel good in their closed group they have formed,

I'm sorry that you feel that way and that you don't want to continue
with this. Best wishes.

Sorry to hit you with reality, but it just will not happen that I will try to convience any Linux kernel maintainer (anymore). It is their job to decide what they want and not mine to convince them. I offer code and arguments, but I will not offer my pride, ego or how you want to name it. If Linux kernel maintainers are unable to deal with the power they've got, that isn't my problem.

Regards,

Alexander Holler
