I already sent you one email, I don't appreciate being Cc'd on all these stupid flames.
The justification is that I put "flush" in where I thought it belonged. I end up maintaining the kernel for YEARS, and as such to me it makes a ton of difference where things logically belong, because it makes it easier to maintain a logical piece of code than a piece of crap.
The fact that it makes for a week of inconvenience for some people matters to me not a whit.
So please, guys, just stop discussing it. Or at least remove me from the cc's,
Linus
