Hi Christoph,
> At that point you shouldn't even bother to send a patch.
The non-technical reasons for this patch are available to anyone who cares to read any of the many news sites that discuss recent events. The fact that I can't discuss those reasons shouldn't preclude me from proposing a technical solution which tries to minimise the impact on Linux users.
I'm hoping that you and others will look at the proposed technical solution to the non-technical problem, and perhaps suggest better approaches. There are a wide variety of approaches to avoiding this problem, and we need to work out which, if any, should be part of the kernel.org releases.
Cheers, Tridge
