Linus stop and think for a minute instead. Maybe a timeline would help


                Nouveau development starts
                People ship highly experimental stuff for testers
                Code gets to the "works but really needs a clean up point"

                Linus demands it is merged
                Linus gets it merged as staging

                Developers start doing the cleanup

                Linus throws a tantrum because they did the cleanup after
                merge


*YOU* forced the early merge (rightly or wrongly)
*YOU* effectively created the API break problem

So blaming other people is quite out of order.
