You ought to stop it.  The interface has been discussed at great
length and Linus decided for the new system calls.  If you take a few
minutes to read the discussions and think about it, I think you too
would see why Linus decided for the current solution.

You're making unfounded accusations.

Please remember that Linus is the Linux kernel maintainer...
