The kernel subsystem maintainers out there probably have a deepunderstanding of the sinking feeling that results from opening one's inboxand seeing a response from Linus Torvalds to a pull request. When all goeswell, pull requests are acted upon silently; a response usually means thatall has not gone well. Several maintainers got to experience thatfeeling during the 6.3 merge window, which seemed to generate more than theusual number of grumpy responses related to merge commits. Avoiding thatsituation is not hard, though, with a bit of attention paid to how mergesare done.
