3. A maintainer is good by definition
4. Maintainers are lazy and therefor delegate the ugly work to contributors

There have been some interesting flames I have been seeing on the LKML. These brought me about to the most important rule on the LKML.
Rule -1: Don’t piss off the big guys unless you have a good enough reason.
And a corollary to Rule -1: No reason is good enough to piss of the big guys.
