Pasting the same replies as you pasted to others won't solve the
problem. Solve the problem - fix the commit msg.

Not true, specific compatibles used as fallback do the same and is a
preferred way.

I went through the history and don't see anything like that. Point to
the specific email please, if you disagree.

OK

No. I expect to see full, correct picture, not half baked patches which
contradict what is in current code.
