But OTOH, there's a difference between messages-to-developers (usually "the code went wrong") and messages-to-users (hopefully usually "the hardware went wrong" or "you went wrong"). So I guess the change is a good one for end-user informational messages. And end-users are the party who should be served, more than developers. - 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/
