They admit newer commits are part of a research effort and were sent with the intent to get feedback, but they didn't actually disclose any of that in the patch description [1]. Furthermore, lots of these patches are at best useless and at worst actively introduce bugs.

It's famously hard to distinguish malice from incompetence, but I don't think assuming bad faith is out of line here.
