You are being unfair: after having talked it over with Nick I resubmitted this patch (not the same), which was added to -mm and nobody complained then. Then it got thrown out of -mm during the merge window because of a conflict, and then now I got around to resubmitting it again. But you're the boss, if you don't like it it won't go in. I'll have a look at the "don't clear PG_uptodate" solution again and see if we can get an agreement there.
