Establishing that something is a commercial break requires more than
saying "Hey, that talks about features of X commercial product". It
involves *also* establishing that the commercial break doesn't apply those
features to linux kernel programming in an instructional manner. If you
haven't done both, then you haven't done enough to justify removing said
"commercial break" from the kernel archive. As long as the "commercial
break" is an instructional document I'll advocate that it stays where it
is. The *most* you will ever get me to agree to is the possible removal
of obviously superflous and advocacy related statements that don't
contribute to the instructional nature of the document.
