Sven,
The following is technically a well-formed diff:

However I don't think you'd be right to hold a grudge against anyone
who refused to apply it.  If Matthew raised some issues with your patch,
why did you not fix them?  Surely removing a debugging printk and moving
the #include to the head of the file would've been pretty obvious.

It's not an isolated event, either.  My refusal to apply a patch which
was unprecedented in the xorg packaging, for an issue that I feel (with
not insignificant justification) is a purely hardware issue was
presented as me hating on Pegasos.  Similarly, your refusal to fix the
patch you provided was also presented as the kernel team despising you
and the Pegasos.  (Money being paid or no.  Principles are principles,
mmm?)

You seem to have this horrendous victim syndrome, exacerbated by bizzare
claims you have better things to do with your time[0] when you throw a
hissy fit and leave.  Turning everyone's legitimate concerns into your
code into hate crusades against you and Genesi isn't in the least
productive, and I really wish you'd grow up and let it go.

Daniel

[0]: I say 'bizzare' because I guarantee it took you longer to write
     that mail than it would've to fix up the kernel patch Matthew
     pointed out legitimate issues in.
