    I think you exaggerate a little. Your last Ack (from Linus) was only
    collected in v6, which has only been resent once with that Ack
    applied. =:)

    We are currently only half way through the merge-window. This patch
    will be hoovered up during the early -rcs. Please be patient around
    the time of the merge-window, since Maintainers are either usually
    very busy with pull-requests, or taking a 2 minute breather before
    the chaos starts over.
