Everyone who works on Android smartphones has to deal with the following:
- The upstream-first policy.
- Not disclosing any aspect of the phone under development until it has
been announced publicly.

Typically two years elapse between the start of testing kernel code for
a new phone and public announcement. Another 1 - 4 years elapse after
a phone has been announced until all kernel code for a smartphone is
upstream. Insisting on not merging any code upstream until a user for
the code is upstream makes the job of smartphone kernel developers
harder than necessary.

This is why I'm fine with deviating from the rule explained in your
email for small changes.

Thanks,

Bart.
