Linus stop and think for a minute instead. Maybe a timeline would help


		Nouveau development starts
		People ship highly experimental stuff for testers
		Code gets to the "works but really needs a clean up point"

		Linus demands it is merged
		Linus gets it merged as staging

		Developers start doing the cleanup

		Linus throws a tantrum because they did the cleanup after
		merge


*YOU* forced the early merge (rightly or wrongly)
*YOU* effectively created the API break problem

So blaming other people is quite out of order.
