Patchset:
PS1: Sorry for being so blunt earlier, but you just marked a thread as resolved just to ignore me. From my point of view, you didn't resolve anything but actually just wanted to spare you the work. That's very offensive. It still hurts.
When authors mark threads as resolved that aren't, the only thing left for the reviewer is a negative review score.
IMO, it's attitude like yours why it sometimes looks messy.
What?! Whereever I can I'm trying to improve the overall state, cleaning up the mess and moving things to a common base. And that attitude should be responsible for that? Wow. Well, thanks!
It is not what you do to the code. But the way you do it to the project. Writing an average patch is only 1/3 of the overall work to get it integrated without friction. For such cleanup patches it's even easier, maybe 1/5, and the way you do it, arguing against reviewers instead of supporting them I'd say you try to leave 90% of the work (to avoid regressions etc.) to the reviewer. Not to mention the unnecessary escalation of a simple review by trying to ignore reviewers.
And then there is this constant argument that somebody should rubber-stamp your patches because somebody else did in a simi- lar case. IMO, that's very bad for a project. What do you think we should do if any of these patches breaks something? Should we only then review all of them? or should we revert all at once to be sure? I'm trying to avoid these questions simply by reviewing by default.
People have done so before, i.e. you're too lazy?
What's your problem? Do you want to keep the old syntax? Or do you want to block these patches just because?
I want you to support reviewers so that they don't have to do most of the work. If you just want to provide an idea and leave everything to somebody else, it's not working out.
Well, it could work out, but then you should mark your patches as TESTME or something. And wait for somebody else to do it without pushing.
