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.

 Ray, I'd agree with you if the topic was about cleanups.

At this point it is about cleanups unless Keith's patch upthread does
not work for you. Does it or not?

 It is on the list of known regressions from 2.6.37, but we're not tracking
 them any more now that 2.6.39 is out.

Hopefully Chris is still tracking them, even if you aren't.

Chris? What other information can the affected person provide, or what
tests can he run to help close this out?
