Maybe he wasn’t direct enough!

No, I read that part, but they're still small gripes. He has no objections to the idea itself, and no reservations about the overall design. He gripes about syntax. Let me be clear: I think the crux of his feedback is solid and is a matter of good engineering. It's good to upkeep these principles for the Linux kernel. But it is very much "fix it up and come back".
