What email client are you using, I have never seen this type of
formatting, and it makes it impossible to read your replies.  Please
resolve this.

Sometimes people miss things on previous reviews, this is not a perfict
system, only the best that we currently know how to do, don't you agree?

If this driver contains lots of things that are not necessary for it to
work at this point in time, why wouldn't that be removed now?

Anyway, I think it would probably be best to get this into staging for
now, which will help you get a way to clean it up in an easier manner,
and still have users have access to it.  Is that acceptable?
