Right.

I think that's fine. It's a bit more clean-up-the-past than plan-for-the-future (which was what I was trying to get at with my last message), but it's not horribly obfuscating like the errno patches were. _______________________________________________ Kernel-janitors mailing list Kernel-janitors@lists.linux-foundation.org https://lists.linux-foundation.org/mailman/listinfo/kernel-janitors
