I didn't "waste" my time as you seem to imply since it only took three minutes or so to commit them.. I don't have a problem having them removed once support in kgdb(1) (8?), has been completed... We probably spent more time typing these two messages than it took me to commit the scripts... It was requested of me to commit these the other day when I mentioned them to another committer (who I don't remeber right now). > If you want to help out, make sure you help doing things that need to > be done.
