OK, I agree with this and I will not be replying to the email prior to this
one it the thread. Let's calm down so we will be able to have a beer at a
conference one day :)

The only one thing that I would like to cover is lack of response to Klaus'
ZNS patchset. Klaus, you are right to complain about it. Since discovering
about the large backlog of NVMe patches that you had pending
(something that we were not aware at the time of publishing our patches),
we made the decision to rebase our series on top of the patches that you
had posted before the publication time of WDC ZNS patchset. Since then,
I got caught in the constant cycle of rebasing our patches on top of your
series and that prevented me from doing much in terms of reviewing of
your commits. Now, once we seem to catch up with the current head of
development, I should be able to do more of this. There is absolutely no
ill will involved :)
