Now you're commenting on the context rather than the patch.

No, this isn't an abandoned driver, no it's not untested. Rather, it's
code I maintain, care deeply about, and have a tree that receives quite
a bit of testing (random.git) where I'll be taking these OF patches in
the case that this patchset improves (and thanks very much for your
review on it; I'll be appreciative of your ack whenever/if ever it
improves to that point), and if you have other cleanups like removing
owner, please don't hesitate to send a patch.

That all is to say, I'm following these threads closely and care.
