Hi Linus, The name "sparse" is very difficult to google for because it's a common English word. It can also make comments and emails confusing when one doesn't immediately know which meaning of "sparse" is being used. Perhaps a name like "s-parse" would be more appropriate. -Kevin -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------ | Kevin O'Connor "BTW, IMHO we need a FAQ for | | kevin@koconnor.net 'IMHO', 'FAQ', 'BTW', etc. !" | ------------------------------------------------------------------------ - 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/
