This hasn't missed any Linus' major release, as it has been submitted post 
3.11 merge, right? (hint, that was Jul 4th).

If this would miss *next* major Linus' release, I would accept your 
complaints. But this is definitely not the case.

Joe, patience is a virtue. Especially when it comes to lower-priority 
stuff.

Again, only large, corss-subsystem series with a lot of maintainers CCed 
are generally delayed.

That's not my concern. My concern is

- avoid work duplication
- avoid git history pollution (again, especially by trivial stuff)
- avoid unecessary stepping on maintainer's toes by something that has 
  such a low importance as trivial.git

Thanks for taking care,
