This patch is coming from google, are you suggesting that google just be added to some black list they have?
- groby_b 3y agoNo, I'm not suggesting a blacklist. I'm not sure why you'd think "sustainable process" implies a blacklist. What I am suggesting is that if you're so stressed out by the time you spend on reviewing things that you yell at people, maybe you should hand of some of the reviews to somebody else. (Especially if you believe, as OP - but not Linus - did that it "should have never made it to their inbox") Yes, I understand that there's a limited number of kernel reviewers. And if the number is too low to deal with the flood of change requests, that's the definition of an unsustainable process.
