Hmm, I don't really care if that will be merged. I have no motivation to 
fight with Linux kernel maintainers and I don't know if I will spend the 
necessary time to do so.

The people you need to convince are Rob, Greg, and me, and you've got my
attention. If I'm convinced, then I can probably convince Greg also.
You've got an interesting approach, and I hope you won't give up on it.

Sorry, but that point of the view is already a problem. Why do I have to
convince you people?

To summarize:

Linux kernel maintainers

- don't like code they haven't written theirself,
- don't like code which doesn't look like they have written it theirself,
- don't like ideas they haven't had themself,
- do feel good in their closed group they have formed,
...

Very correct and well said.
For many subsystems is it as is, we cannot break these barriers.
