I don't want to enable too many types of messages because the "barrier to entry" to submit patches shouldn't be so high that it discourages people. I feel mostly that many types of checkpatch messages are OK to emit, but aren't necessary to fix and people should feel that checkpatch isn't a necessary thing to silence before patches are accepted. cheers, Joe -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
