So, at first I was giving you the benefit of the doubt, presuming that
you were not deliberately sending me patches that might break because
they included dependencies on changes that I had explicitly rejected
(several times) in the past. You've now made it clear that it was
deliberate.

A few of your patches have helpful clean-ups, but the bother of
dealing with such nonsense[1] just isn't worth it. Please don't waste
time by sending me any further patches; they will be ignored.

Thanks,

Michael
