I'm extremely upset about this. Especially given the fact that EVERY DAMN TIME there were TIPC patches posted I applied EVERY DAMN ONE of them, and I did so in an expediant manner. So there is zero reason for the TIPC protocol development to not have occured upstream. I, in fact, facilitated things to work that way in the smoothest way possible, if only the TIPC developers had obliged.
