No. Nobodys deadlines are justifying anything.
You recently gave me a lecture how to do proper kernel development just
because I did the right thing, i.e. preventing a bad interaction by making
a Kconfig dependency which does not affect you in any way.
Now for your own interests you try to justify something which is
fundamentaly worse: Merging known to be broken code.
BPF is not special and has to wait for the next merge window if the
prerequisites are not ready in time as any other patch set does.
Thanks,
