The idea of the kind of research they previously did is to submit patch requests with some kind of trick or hidden agenda first, then do some analysis of the results, and then later on publish a paper explaining what they did. Now here they are again submitting a weird looking and seemingly poorly conceived patch. Who knows what they're really doing? Perhaps they're working on some kind of new paper, with who know what purpose. Maybe they'd find out in 6 months. Maybe it's a failed line of research similar to the previous ones which they won't actually publish. Or maybe they just have no idea what they're doing. Either way, it seems like a waste of time at best. The mass ban and revert sounds like an appropriate move.
