For ensuring long-term stability you should work with the upstream
community when changes happen and not wait until you finally catch up
with reality in production.

That's not the way it works. If you ignore feedback for 3 years then you
can't expect that everything is dropped to please you now.

Marc told you what he's concerned about and that should be sufficient to
resubmit the patches with proper change logs and comments in the source
code explaining the issue and the solution properly, no?

While at it please fix up the broken S-O-B chain in your submission.
Documentation/process/ explains it neatly. While at it read the rest of
it too and act accordingly.

Thanks,
