So, Felipe,

Do you believe you speak for all of LKML?

Are you willing to tell ZDNet and the Slashdot fanboys that it's OK
for Suspend blockers to live in a separate tree, and it's not a case
of OMG!  Google is forking the kernel?

If you could speak out a passionately on those forums as you have
here, that would be great.
