Thanks for this feedback.


> What are the chances you can add useful attributes to your skilz?

Unfortunately, "Perl" does not belong to a favourite in my current collection
of programming languages I learned through my software development activities.
I imagine that I would prefer to improve other Linux software modules
for a while instead?

Would it be interesting if the Coccinelle software could help a bit more with
corresponding semantic patches?

Markus
