And you deserve kudos for that. But that doesn’t make this current
thread less of a troll. You cannot ask, so late in the release process,
to introduce several thousand-lines patches in the kernel, even if they
finally exist. And you can’t say you were ignoring the situation until
now. It should have been obvious that, given how they evolved, these
bugs would be ignored for lenny.

They are serious bugs. And if we waited to have zero serious bugs before
releasing, we’d never release. That’s why lenny-ignore tags are here.
