It was a necessary step. To get around this, we're going to ask people to submit new machine support on a file by file basis, and that's just not practical, and you can't expect me to be able to track _every_ _single_ fscking change to the kernel, and pick up every one in a review.
There will always be a delay between changes happening between two people and we have to live with it. Not everyone works on Linus' latest kernel.
