Yes, that's fine, I just wanted to speak this out - there is a probability that someone gets excited and creates some instrumentation to kbuild to automatically detect bad things and then Stephen could easily use that. WRT "not necessary" - well, I think it is always better to cut bad things before they are merged, rather than afterwards. But anyway, let's forget about this. -- Best Regards, Artem Bityutskiy (????? ????????)
