All the people that don't use makepatch because it makes stupid patch
names care (or any other reason they don't use makepatch).

I've actually seen people change good patch names to these bad patch
names so it would match makepatch convention.  That's insane, so a
reason to care.

You can't assume the everyone or even the majority of people use
makepatch (thankfully this is not the case).

We obviously care.  I care enough that I'm considering going through the
bureaucratic hassle of getting a patch name convention outlined in
documentation thus forcing a change to tools like makepatch.  Danfe@
obviously cares enough about his eyesight to want it changed.

It really does suck.
