We clearly have different interpretations of the word "maintainer" then... If they're not maintaining the code then are they really the maintainers of it? Point is I copied accepted kernel code and was rejected because of "errors" that are in existing kernel code. Similarly if I did the upgrade to AH to use AEAD I suspect it would be rejected for the same reason.
