Hihi,
alles klar ?
-------------------------------------------------------------------
I don't know why the ISDN people just do not ever GET IT.
I refuse to get huge patches every time two weeks before a feature
freeze. How hard is that to understand?
I will continue to ignore the ISDN CVS tree. If the ISDN people cannot
get their act together and actually start sending their fixes to the
standard kernel in a timely manner, I cannot be bothered with it. This
has continued for something like five years now, and every time I explain
it to people my explanation gets lost or ignored.
It's not about sending "a patch".
It's about being a responsible programmer, and making sure I get MORE
than just a patch every f*cing time I anounce a code freeze. I should
have been getting patches for the last half year, and I have gotten
ZERO. And I'm irritated at the ISDN peopl, because this is not the
first time. In fact, I have never EVER gotten a single responsible ISDN
developer that stands up and says "ok, I'll be the maintainer of this,
and I'll make sure it gets fed to Linus in a timely manner".
You still wonder why ISDN is not there? Do you still wonder why I'm fed
up with ISDN people who think they they can just force-feed me one huge
patch and completely avoid any QA in the meantime?
WHY, oh why, is the ONLY time I ever hear from ISDN people when I have
publically announced a code-freeze? Explain that.
