• What was the reason that you used the "WTF - never to be seen again" tone instead of the regular "FAILED - if someone wants to apply..."? Or in other words, what can we do to improve and not make you angry again?

First off, the WTF is just an email script, don't take it personally.

Jumping in here - tune it down a bit so it's less confusing? I guess in general it's not all that confusing, but since we did upset you rather badly a few months ago it's easy to jump to conclusions here and assume that i915 maintainers once more upset Greg badly :-/

Just an idea in the spirit of the "make the bots friendlier" discussion from iirc kernel summit.
