I have concerns about this patch that I have expressed in the past.

I'm not going to apply it... since it's a global change that affects all
kernel developers, I don't think I *should* apply it.  I would recommend
sending it directly to Linus; if you can get an ack from him, I'll apply
it then.

Thanks,
