As to me, comments are a form of review. In other words, RFC to me means the review is "does this design look like it will work", and we should be reviewing the design and overview of the patches. Not the nitty gritty details (like missed error handling, unless the design will prevent it). Although, you could add those comments in a review. When I post RFCs, it's not that I'm not comfortable submitting the change, it's because I want to know if what I'm doing makes sense, and I might be missing something that will make this effort in vain. What ever happen to the "Submit early, submit often" mantra? -- Steve
