What kind of excuse is that? It's "we did bad things, but if we didn't do those bad things, we'd have done _other_ bad things"?
Two wrong choices don't make a right.
Nobody has even answered me whether this is _forwards_compatible. It clearly isn't backwards-compatible. IOW, is there _any_ way to move back-and-forth over that commit, even if I can find a new libdrm?
IOW, we know we have a problem here. But what's the solution? I know I can revert it (I tried, I'm running that kernel now, nouveau works). That's not a good solution, I know. But can you offer me a _better_ one? One that doesn't involve "upgrade all the way to rawhide, and lose the ability to bisect anything, or run plain 2.6.33".
So yes, I'm complaining. But I at least have mentioned one solution. You, in contast, are just making excuses with no solutions.
