Given that our previously agreed-upon requirements were not met, I do
not think that finally meeting these requirements when caught that you
were not following them is going to be acceptable to allow your
organization to return to the kernel community.

wasted too much of our own time and energy on this for absolutely no
benefit at all, except as an example to point others at and say "do not
be like them."
