So go away. Write the code. Come back with patches.

If you knew me that well, you also knew that such threats don't work
with me.

I'd like to add to Linus' suggested course of action the task "look up
threat in a dictionary".

In this case you know perfectly well, that I don't know the code as
well as you, so without any help it would require a huge waste of time
with the risk of rejection.

If _you_ need the functionality, you can easily keep it around in _your_
copy.  That's what I do with a few patches that were not accepted here.
So the "risk of rejection" has no real cost for you (apart from an
occasional rebase on origin, which is cheap).  Just for others.  And of
no-one else argues your case, then they probably don't mind.
