Out for a while? You must be kidding.

The original post is from Wed. Aug 8th and your ultimatum mail is
dated Mon Aug 13th. That's a mere 3 working days.

You seem to misunderstand what pushing into -next means. -next is not
a playground for random changes. It's an integration tree for stuff
which is supposed to show up in the next merge window. And stuff which
touches other maintainers trees needs to orginate from there or at
least be acked/reviewed-by those maintainers.

Why should -next have different rules to mainline?

Fortunately not. I wouldn't touch such an insensitive clod with a ten
foot pole.

Though other people whom I'm not dating either are sensitive enough to
send a polite mail after a few days:

<cite>
Thomas, I figured out on IRC that you are on vacation. Would
you be so kind to look at the patches I've posted 10 days ago? ....
</cite>

Do you see the subtle difference between a polite reminder after 10
days and an ultimatum after 5 days ?????

Thanks,

tglx
