Did I miss the part of the post that said, (speaking as Tom): FYI, I am 
ignoring the commit fest deadline and committing this?

Are we supposed to hold patches when we are post-deadline and not seek 
feedback? That seems rather hostile.

I am not suggesting that anyone is exempted from a CommitFest deadline. 
I am actually rather hard line that we should be keeping them.

I think it is ridiculous to post on the bad/good/timing of a patch 
submission unless there is a case being made that the process isn't 
actually being followed. I don't see that here.

In short, soap boxing does nobody any good.
