[FYI] tux3: Core changes

[Elifarley Callado Coelho Cruz]

My gosh!!!! This is driving me crazy. Please let's make it crystal clear,
in technical and precise terms, devoid of any ad hominem attacks or the
like, what is preventing Tux3 from being merged.

Maybe a list of issues in Github, so that each issue can be scrutinized
more easily. Like this one: https://github.com/tux3fs/tux3-merging/issues/1

Daniel, thank you so much for spending so much energy to fight not only for
tux3, but for logic, reason and rationality, and for a saner dev process in
Linux.
