I think the standards for every signature tag other than Signed-off-by: should be _much_ higher than they are and that most all uses of "Acked-by:" and "Reviewed-by:" tags are for vanity. "Tested-by:" tags would be more helpful if the test cases that were used were somehow sent along with the signature. -- 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/
