You misunderstand. You sending an ARM patch in your ARM PULL with just
your Sob is the same as me sending a CPU patch with just my Sob in my
CPU PULL. That's what I was saying.

It is NOT about whether someone can veto something, it's about getting
external review and formally recognizing that review.
If Anthony is apparently making a retreat on that front, then we don't
necessarily need external review on our own subsystems, but if we want
to evaluate which or how many patches have been reviewed by someone else
then we need to record that in the commit message in *some* way. I don't
care what -by it is as long as we have and respect a clear rule.
