I can't believe you approve a patch (apparently even a whole series) without
any comment and without allowing me time to re-review it, when you _know_
that I put in a whole lot of effort to try to make this start out in good
shape, rather than having to clean up afterwards. This isn't to say the
patch still needs further adjustment - I simply didn't get to looking at the
series again; before the holidays I didn't even manage to get through all of
v4.

Lili, along these lines, while formally it may be okay for you to commit
with H.J.'s approval, imo common sense should have told you not to.

Further, the bigger a patch, the more important it is that you trim context
when replying. Every reader has to scroll through hundreds of lines just
to find there are no other comments, just the "OK".

Please be more considerate going forward,
Jan
