Sure, don’t rush into things. But when you have a fix that’s just a few lines that’s languishing in your repositories for years something’s up.
I’m not talking specifically about this issue. There are several drivers for the Steam Deck controller and the thermal system that I have to compile myself to be able to properly run a vanilla kernel on my Steam Deck LCD. There has been more than enough time to fix the stuff.
Still glad that it’s open source so that I can just grab everything I need. But it would be nice if I could just forget about it and find all fixes in my kernel half a year or so after they’ve been successfully in production in SteamOS.
You need to understand that testing the fix itself takes time. Especially if it is for a new hardware to make sure it doesn’t break other hardware somehow
Do you actually want “fast” AI-sloppy maintenance/nonsense, where customers would get even more issues eventually, and ruin the reputation?
Adequate verification and careful, responsible attitude to changes requires time.
I am sorry, but I have no idea how you may “hate” accountability.
