Even if you don't care to put me on CC I pretty much follow the
mailing list. All I can see is your priggish "release" message, but no
sign of prior discussion on how to approach that problem.

You have "released" code and trees before which were ignored. All for
the same reason: your unwillingness to cooperate.

You create some "works for me" artifact, "release" it pompously and
expect that it is picked up and the work you were not willing to do is
finished by others. If that's not happening then you waste everyones
valuable time with your brashly impertinent and stubborn requests to
enforce your POV on those who have developed and maintained preempt-rt
for years.

If that is your idea of cooperation then please look for a community
and maintainers who are willing to accept that mode of operation.

Thanks,
