I agree.  Now can we end this discussion-from-hell please? :-)

I've noted before that it's always the smallest changes which incite
the greatest number of follow-ups, and we frequently see the situation
where something like NFS or the audio subsystem is just crawling with
bogons and nobody says spit about them.  Then someone makes a small,
relatively cosmetic change and everybody is on their chairs, exerting
tremendous energy on the issue.

I would respectfully suggest that a lot of people's energies are being
sadly misdirected and they need to focus more on the genuine evils
still lurking on our source tree if they've got so much time and
energy to spare. ;)
