Because they don't have an infinite amount of manpower. Actual bugs hitting actual users take precedence over 'cleanups' which always have a chance of causing regressions, as you're well aware. Code churn for the sake of abstract prettiness is discouraged, as it has a potential cost for little potential gain.
If you like, submit a patch. You may now be more up-to-date on those particular code paths than most of the intel-gfx developers. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
