There is a difference from newbies and you.

As a community, we welcome new comers and encourage them,
but after a while, people sending mostly cleanups are shifting in a
category which doesn't fit to you.

We expect from you more interesting stuff. You can do it.

I understand you want to fully rewrite net/sched to your ideas of
how the code _should_ be.

Doing so forces other people already knowing all this code to spend time
to understand how things changed. And this is really not nice.

If you want to send cleanups, do this once in a while. Do not send 13
patches and expect us to be happy with that. We are not.
