You're not a maintainer, as I obviously have to point out to you often 
enough.  I've repeatedly asked you to work with me in reviewing my oom 
killer rewrite on linux-mm, yet you seldom offer any valuable feedback 
other than a simple "nack".  I don't consider any of your patchset here to 
be more applicable than my patchset, which has been developed over the 
course of several months, and your lack of participation in the process is 
really quite shocking to me.

In case nobody has told you before: Andrew maintains this code and these 
patches will be going through the -mm tree.  You are not a maintainer of 
it (or any other kernel code), so please act within your role of kernel 
hacker and review patches as people propose them by offering your 
constructive feedback.
