How about you accept the fact that maybe the problem is you.

You think you know better. But the current process works.

It has problems, but problems are a fact of life.  There is no perfect.

However, I will say that the social media brigading just makes me not
want to have anything at all to do with your approach.

Because if we have issues in the kernel development model, then social
media sure as hell isn't the solution. The same way it sure as hell
wasn't the solution to politics.

Technical patches and discussions matter. Social media brigading - no
than\k you.
