Hi Jing,

If you're wondering why I'm taking a long time to respond to your
patches, it is because they are very ill-formed.  They don't conform
to the submitting patches guidelines, the patch comments don't
adequately explain the why the patch is needed, and what testing has
been done, and you tend to throw in patches that aren't correctly
submitted in the middle of comments, and in some cases it's not clear
whether this patch is suppose to be in addition to the previous patch,
and combined into a separate commit, or kept as two separate patches,
etc.

As a result, it takes, much, MUCH, MUCH longer for me to review the
patches for correctness.  I will eventually get to them, but I may end
up working on other patches which are better formed and easier for me
to evaluate for correctness and quality.

If you do submit new patches, especially in this thread where you have
already submitted so many different patches, I would appreicate it if
you could explicitly state that a particular patch has been superceded
by another, or has been withdrawn.  I will try to keep score on the
patchwork web site (for example, I rejected your bb_free_cache patch),
but you've been so prolific with patches, some of which haven't been
very well explained, that I may have lost track of all of your
submissions.   

Please bear with me.

Best regards,

					- Ted
