Until a week or two ago, we had no mechanism with which to implement the 'right fix'.

We can be stricter now that we have some expectation of _consistency_ across distributions. -- dwmw2 - 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/ | ||||||||||
