I agree with a lot of what you say.

However, one point remains is that we were told, by Dave Airlie, that
they didn't want this code merged because the one person being paid to
work on it "would be overwhelmed" if the code went upstream.

I distinctly remember this being mentioned at the kernel summit.

And you know what?  That kind of excuse pisses me off too :-)
