Why do you expect it to be rolled back? What evidence leads you to believe that? Also, with this email it seems it is you who is turning a routine technical decision into a hostile relationship. As they say, them fighting words.

Yes, like North Korea's rocket launches are routine technical missions, too. Chromium is slinging mud at nouveau and I can't stand for that.

  So, chromium is like "I want a better experience for my users out of the box" and this leads to you comparing them to North Korean nuclear launches? You need an internet timeout. Go get drunk, stoned whatever you do and try again Monday.

  > Chromium is slinging mud at nouveau Not sure what you mean by this. If there are versions of nouveau 'in the wild' (widely used by non-technical users) that result in brokenness under some circumstances-- and bugfixes in the driver are not promptly available, it makes sense to prevent use of the hardware driver i.e. "blacklist" it. So, are you saying that using nouveau does not result in broken behavior, and that any such brokenness is quickly fixed?

  If you can't stand for that, then do something about it. Fix bugs, or pay people to fix bugs. On what grounds are you entitled to demand anything of the Chromium team?

Does the author think that this'll make the Chromium project more willing to sponsor work on nouveau, or for that matter, to expend some of their influence on nouveau's behalf via Nvidia? It makes no sense to me.
