 Being alone in the x11@ team for the past ~2 years, I think that I done a
pretty correct job at maintaining the ports while still continuing to help
people with drm-kmod when problems appears so this comment is hurting me a bit.
 Also I use FreeBSD as my main desktop for 20 year now so don't think I hate
desktop users :)

 It is generally good to dismiss contributors with aggressive attitude though.

 Maintaining a patch isn't the problem (even if I want all patches to be
upstreamed ideally), the main problem is that this patch wasn't reviewed,
wasn't accepted upstream (unlike the use of kcmp(2) which was merge yesterday)
and I don't plan to review it. Having kcmp(2) is an improvement, not a bugfix
(could be wrong, feel free to correct me).

> Maybe there's a less intrusive way to not scare users until kcmp(2) becomes omnipresent?
