Probably not, I guess I have been getting more sensitive lately.
However, you have changed the base of your quilt series.  This means that
you have included more changes from Linus' tree into your tree, thus any
testing you have done previously may be invalidated by those changes.

Yeah, sorry, but I was complaining to several people today.

Actually, those patches only hit linux-next on July 9 (my time), when the
were based on v3.10-6005-gd2b4a64.  Then today you changed the base of
your series to v3.10-8587-g496322b and added another patch.

Which is probably when they hit linux-next.

And I have no problem with maintainers making judgement calls about
simple patches during the merge window.

It all seems a bit trivial when we are talking about 2 patches, but it is
the process that is important.
