I don't remember having ever said this.

Your choices are:
[ ] prove your accusation that I said I
    "knew about this bug before the feature hit mainline"
[ ] apologize
[ ] be the firest person ever in my killfile

I'm not sure with whom you confuse me on this one.
Perhaps with Ilpo?

I have sending some bigger uninlining patches on my TODO list for quite 
some time (since this is really the right thing to solve these issues), 
but I've not yet gotten there.

I'm well aware of the fact that our Bugzilla is mostly a /dev/null for 
the currently at about 1500 open bugs there.

That's why I tend [1] to only open bugs there for getting them into 
Rafael's regression lists.

This isn't a regression.

[1] there are a few exceptions when I tried opening some bugs there
