    You mean this one:

    Sending a PM pull request to the PM list doesn't really strike me as the
    height of obfuscation. Plus almost everyone who objected was on the cc
    list.

    I don't think it's a conspiracy ... just standard operating procedure
    for this subsystem. I do think cc'ing lkml is good practise (having
    been yelled at for not doing that in the past) but it's certainly not
    universal practise.
