Do you see anything wrong with these particular patches?
... Sorry for responding when I said I wouldn't but let me clarify my own email. The *code* changes in fc/pull-cleanups are good, I said as much previously. The commit messages are also fine, except for the misleading Reviewed-by claim that you still aren't addressing. That could be overlooked on its own. Any other problematic patches or portions thereof of yours could easily have been written off as mistakes and been no big deal. My concern is primarily in how you *respond* to feedback. I feel you have displayed a callous disregard for what others find critical and important, and appear to be unwilling or unable to adapt and work with the community. It was particularly your recent emails with Peff at [1], [2], and [3] that have me deeply troubled. Troubled enough that I do not want my name used to endorse your changes, particularly when I already pointed out that you have used my name in a false endorsement of your patch and you have now responded to but not corrected that problem (including again just now in this thread), making it appear to me that this was no mistake. I do not want such false endorsements to occur again, and felt I needed to speak up to make that happen.
