I personaly think that the "rude" comments in the code, shoudl be left as they are.. I dont know about any one else, but wen I write a prog it is downright amazing if I comment it at all, and if some one is going to tell me what to and what not to put in my comments, then I may as well not comment it at all.. and with most a great loss for those of us who scan through linux source and would be totaly lost were it not for thoes comments.. I vote they stay.
I disagree. A big advantage of Linux is the source availability, and as such we operate in a glass house that other OS's don't. As such, those "impurities" will be very visible with Linux, and will make us look bad.
