Really, this is absolutely unacceptable. Now you bring private
conversation to somehow claim I have no rights to NAK your patches.

You grossly violated that little trust people still were willing to give
you.

Steven asked me about situation, we talked, Steven explained what he did
and what he plans to do, and based on that and his explanation, I SAID
to him that I am willing to give you a chance by refraining to NAK
automatically your patches. And that was before you were doing this:

"I am representing lib"
https://lore.kernel.org/all/16B7B5A8-EEA7-4580-A565-3A0B4DBB08AB@xxxxxxxxx/

Pushing untested code to backports
https://lore.kernel.org/all/C9577A36-B531-4480-BEA5-42F660C184CA@xxxxxxxxx/


Your claim:
"Wait, you haven't been told? To not nack my patches"

is just arrogance and frankly, what the hell. Using that little trust
you got from Steven in this discussion.

So I do revert my "refrain from NAKs". I will be NAKing your patches,
because after all this time nothing improved.


Best regards,
Krzysztof
