What.

The.

Hell?

The first commit is in the mainline, not in vfs tree.  And it had been
there since before -rc1.

Incidentally, why the hell has that thing never landed in my mailbox?  Not
directly, not Cc'd, not via fsdevel either.

Ben, what the fuck going on?  OK, you don't feel necessary to mention
that to me (or have me take a look through it).  Your business.  You also
don't bother to bring it on fsdevel.  Again, your estimates of the
usefulness of said list and review there are your business.  But it looks
like you also do not bother to check what has landed in the mainline two
months ago.  WTF?
