I really didn't Or: First ask: 'We can't really look at the uapi changes here without also seeing the verbs side changes.' (I know others on the list feel the same, so I use 'we') Second ask: 'Lets see the verbs side and I'll let you know.' (.. to your questions based on my review comments ..) Third ask: 'I think we need to have the same policy.' (.. To Yann's point that other kernel communities have a mandatory UAPI policy) Fourth (exasperated) ask: 'Was it not clear? Yann and I asked to see the user space side before reviewing this series further.' I know you are ESL, and I cut you alot of slack, but *come on* - that is incredibly soft language, and certainly not bossing and imposing in a definitive manner a blanket requirement on all patches. Advice: You would be well served to spend a bit more time on your emails. I have no idea what 'but rather U2 saying' means, for instance. Sometimes I just guess at what you are trying to say :| That is the price we pay for an inclusive international community, but everyone needs to be careful before starting a flame war based on percived slight in the text and phrasing of a message. email is hard.
