Well, going by your standards, harassment is just OK?

Anyway, if my reply to Michael was too harsh/unfriendly, I hereby
apologize (and I already wrote that on IRC too, where he lurks as
michaelni). I'd still like to ask him to explicitly state whether his
reply is a change request in context of a patch review, or just general
advice when he's suggesting something that would be disproportionally
more work and not solve the problem the original patch tried to solve.
This is sort of irritating because you never know what you're supposed
to do to get the patch OK'ed.

I'd also like to point out that it _did_ happen in the past that
Michael went off tangents in patch reviews and asked for unreasonable
extra work because of minor issues. The AVFrame.opaque_ref fiasco
(whose non-sensical later solution which he demanded was finally
pushed, even though it still does not solve the issues he claimed his
approach would solve) comes to mind, and I considered his general
conduct on this issue harassment (not like I'd get an apology).

I don't know what the other case of supposed harassment Carl Eugen is
making up without providing any proof.
