Since portability to other compilers is really not an option with linux, it's a lot more important that the kernel code use a _consistent_ convention than it use a `standard' one.
So before recommending that people use a different syntax than the one historically used, are you going to run over the whole kernel and replace all the existing uses of `field:' with `.field = ' (and brave the flamewar that it would probably require)?
