I also think so. Thanks a lot Wei for the review, BTW.

Exactly. Trying to elaborate a bit more, this series does not include
any complex algorithm or similar, so one may thing that it is not that
hard to review. But it is indeed complex and hard to review, because
the patches are rather big and because the API and the command line
syntax we want to support is complex.
If there are too many style issue, any review will likely end up
focusing mostly, if not only, on them, for various reasons. E.g., when
one finds a stile issue, avoiding commenting on it (e.g., because one
wants to focus on "more important" aspects) means risking forgetting
about it and, in the end, letting it hit the repository (if others also
miss it or does the same). Also, we're all used to look at code that
(well, mostly :-D) conforms to coding style, so it's harder to focus on
code that does not. And more.
Add to this that the most difficult part of the tools side of this
series (like API and data structures) is actually ok.
So, Chong, for us to be able to quickly and effectively help you
forward, we need to ask you to do your best and get rid of (ideally)
all coding style problems.
Once that's done, we're not far from calling this all a done deal. :-)
Thanks and Regards,
Dario
