Yeah, that put the needed pressure for the patches to get accepted ;) I and others had done most of that in the past but patches were getting lost in the noise, now they are getting in much more easily 8) http://kerneljanitors.org/TODO had that listed for a long time 8) Anyway, thanks again for the audit! :-) And I'm all for something that is more easy to use, as I, like you, don't want to keep auditing for the very same thing over and over again. - Arnaldo
