I leave it up to Geert to apply Nubus patches that pass review. There is=20
no git tree for this subsystem and the only arch to make use of it so far=
=20
is m68k.

In my opinion, there's nothing novel about deleting code so it's quite=20
meaningless what "git log" says about authorship. That's doubly true for=20
redundant code, which compilers elide as a matter of course.

If some developers are receiving incentives to do juanitorial work (like=20
running coccinelle scripts) then I'd like to know whether a line added has=
=20
the same price as a line deleted.

Maybe some developers are deleting redundant code I wrote so as to make my=
=20
life easier as the maintainer. Maybe they are not getting paid for that.=20
I'm not aware of that having happened here, but if it did, thanks a lot.
