Actually, in rather too many cases it's been to be told that your code is crap because Christoph doesn't like the idea, e.g. if I recall correctly this happened to kprobes / systrace. You can tell when that happens because there's even less actual information there than normal and because this often happens before you even submit patches (and often because other kernel devs tell him to shut up: i.e. this *is* self-correcting, and when not misfiring Christoph does a useful service. He *could* do with lessons in tact from, say, Al Viro. ;} )
