@pavel but I actually had to deal with some Atari today :( https://lore.kernel.org/all/80c767a5d5927c099aea5178fbf2c897b459fa90.1732106544.git.geert@linux-m68k.org/

@vbabka @pavel it's sort of heroic and shit to support these museum pieces, but it's a constant pain in the arse for work on heavily-in-use arches which actually really need a constantly moving kernel.
If people can maintain this stuff, they can do it outside of mainline and make whatever compromises they want.
I think it's just absolutely unfair for core kernel devs to be expected to do the work.

@admin @pavel @vbabka ok apologies, you are right about that.
I overreacted perhaps, because it was an unwarranted, mean-spirited and unpleasant attack out of the blue and part of a series of unpleasant comments I've received for no (apparent) reason.
I will refrain from being quite so on the nose like that again.
EDIT: I edited the original toot to remove this bit too.

@pavel @vbabka i've tried to give feedback in some reviews to make sure that test script would be busybox ash (i.e. #!/usr/bin/env sh) compatible but some others have downplayed that feedback ;-) at least i've tried...
especially with preproduction hardware it is not uncommon start with fpga so it would somewhat feasible to reduce image size for kernel + kselftest... because loading is SLOW
