Those are important questions, no doubt. However, that does not
address Simon's question. Especially in light of Linus' statement:
"I'm also perfectly willing to unapply it if there actually are
valid out-of-tree users that people push for not merging."
It seems that, whether submitted (and or accepted) into the kernel
or not, Simon has the obligation to respond to Linus' challenge.
