I would not want to review code that is later reverted or essentially
changed in later patches. I only review your patches because we have a
high interest in the patch. I suspect that others will be more willing to
review this material if it would be done the right way.

If you cannot produce an easily reviewable and properly formatted patchset
that follows conventions then I will have to do it because we really need
to get this merged.
