I might feel bad about those, if not for one thing - their authors had explicitly chosen to keep them out of tree and did not bother to watch what was going on in linux-next - these changes had been there for quite a while. And now you have a chutzpah to come and complain about that? Better yet, we are expected to be working on fixing those? Really? It's not a rethorical question - I seriously want to know whether I'd misparsed what you meant to say.
