I'm not saying he made a PR just saying "Fixes" like a rookie. What I'm saying is that in there should have been something along the lines of "heads up - I know this doesn't comply with the usual process for the following commits, here's why I think they should be given a waiver under these circumstances" followed by the justifications that appeared after Linus got upset.

The PR description would have been fine - if it had been in the right stage of the process.
