"find /usr/src -type f | xargs egrep 'a-z|A-Z|0-9'" returns just under 3600 hits on -current. Based on a quick scan, most of these are regexps that should be replaced by character classes but someone will need to manually work through them all. I agree with Andrea that you should mail Ruslan directly to discuss the best way forward. A single PR with a patch for all about 3000 problematic regexps probably couldn't be committed but we don't want 3000 PR's about one problem either. -- Peter Jeremy
