But that does not make me like the series. And yes, hiding backdoor
in one of those would be way too easy...
This is one of the worst patch series submissions in history.
At vger.kernel.org postmaster I just spent 45 minutes dealing
with the fallout.

1200+ patches all at once, unacceptable.

Every patch having the same Subject line text, unacceptable.

Triggering rate limiting bounces on %50+ of all lkml recipients,
unacceptable.

This is why you don't spam lists with a thousand patches.

If this is going to be properly submitted, it must be done in
reasonable, bite size, pieces of 10 to 15 patches at a time.
