All of these are objectively false.

Preliminary cleanup patches first appeared on the ML in December 2021.
The project was then publicly announced in April 2022. The work was
upstreamed continually, in a total of ~50 small-to-medium patchsets over
the course of ~2 years. The final threading conversion patches were
submitted to the ML 3 months before being merged upstream. There was
ample opportunity for anyone to comment all along the way, I actually
wish more people had used it.

You're just salty you got overruled.
