Then, I can only conclude what several others have also concluded, that you've taken on x86 maintainence purely so that you can berate other subsystem maintainers who don't do things up to your specifications and standards.
And frankly Ingo, that sucks.
Instead of discussing things with people, you get up every morning and shoot off your randconfig nuclear bombs at your targets. It's what you've done all weekend long and it's very much NOT appreciated.
The build failure knowledge is appreciated, however the reason you are reporting them is not. Why do we need to know that your automated tools have found 5 networking build failures "so far" over the weekend? That number is relative to what, exactly? It has no purpose other as a tool that lets you say "networking broke the build, substantially, see?" And for the record most of what you've discovered are extreme edge cases that our Kbuild language machinery doesn't handle very well.
Now, as a result of doing x86 maintainence, you can say "see how well I maintain a subsystem" and the implication is that the way other people do their work results in a vastly inferier result.
And frankly Ingo, that also sucks.
All the while you have your randconfig machinery to "prove" things, which allows you to bypass any suspicion of targetting anyone on ideological grounds.
If you really cared, you would run your randconfig system on, for example, the linux-next and -mm trees, which I've specifically suggested and you've specifically ignored. And there is no coincidence to that.
You'd rather not do it, and the reason is that doing so would actually help Linux kernel development as a whole rather than serve your specific political and ideological goals.
And that, Ingo, really sucks.
