That's a very poor filter, I don't write much code lately in the networking.
I only provide theoretical direction in a few specific areas I care about.
As Ingo already knows, I think this "put everything on lkml" argument is bogus.
And about bisectability, every time I apply a networking patch I do at the very least a "allmodconfig" build with just that new patch added, for every patch. Often I do more extensive build testing.
And when I rebase the tree, I rerun this check after each patch gets re-applied to a new base tree.
In fact I'm working on such issues as I fly over the Australia for LCA08 :-)
So this isn't an issue that posting to lkml is going to help.
