Subject: Re: [PATCH v4 0/4] PCI MCFG consolidation and APEI resource filtering

How about the status of this series, it's really bad, bad and still bad... to wait long
time for the final judgement, especially you take extremely serious to rework it round
by round, finaly you receive nothing. Everyone's work should be repected!

Technically, I don't think it's very hard to say yes or no (what's your concerns) for
the patch set. If you give your objections and convince me, then I will drop it, that's
nothing. Hopefully our maintainers can take the responsibility that they should take,
I totally understand that our maintainers are very busy and will face tens of thousands
of mails. But, YOU ARE THE MAINTAINER! 

Responsiblity!Responsiblity!! Still TMD f*cking FucResponsiblity!!!
