All of the changes which were submitted to this list I reviewed and
either they were poorly formed or did not apply cleanly at all.
Everything fell to /dev/null and the developers made no effort
whatsoever to address the feedback and make the patches actually apply
to the SILO git tree properly.
The patches were not only poorly formed, or not able to apply to the
GIT tree, they were also extremely poorly documented with either a
very terse and vague commit message provided or none at all. When
I would ask why a change was doing X or Y, I received no response
at all.
