I'm well aware, which is why I also wrote:

"I do sincerely hope these are only fears and not what actually is
going on. I'll do my best to take into serious consideration what you
say -- many are indeed extremely helpful"

Worry not, I've been working around the clock to implement suggestions
from Ard and from others.

I'll be submitting v5 fairly soon, which will probably be a good spot
for you to review as well, if you're interested. I'm just going to
give kbuild testbot a few more hours on it first.

Regards,
Jason
