Swap "friends" from people to code then its interesting
eg I'd love to be able to do EXPORT_SYMBOL_TO(sym, "i2o*.o");
for the i2o code and know that nobody is going to try and use those routines for non i2o stuff thinking "that looks handy".
I'm not sure if its that managable, _INTERNAL works for a lot of things from my point of view. Knowing what is and isnt claimed to be an interface helps so much. Complicating it seems to have few extra payoffs - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
