I think you exaggerate a little.  Your last Ack (from Linus) was only
collected in v6, which has only been resent once with that Ack
applied. =:)

We are currently only half way through the merge-window.  This patch
will be hoovered up during the early -rcs.  Please be patient around
the time of the merge-window, since Maintainers are either usually
very busy with pull-requests, or taking a 2 minute breather before
the chaos starts over.
