Do you mean I'm being rude to Kalle, or rude to you?

In the part you snipped, Kalle asked me to do just that:

# I'm not planning to submit pull requests to 4.13 anymore. If you think
# this is so important that it needs to be applied in the last minute (I
# don't) you could always try to convince Dave to take it directly.

..and as I still believe patch should go in, that's what I did.

Best regards,
									Pavel
