As I mentioned in another email, I have no problem with an easy to parse file. But I will aggressively NAK any "python" or other scripting language. I'm sure I would get the same response if I were to have the kernel outputting perl language ;)
I would be OK if we have two files similar to stat and status, where one format is human readable, the other is for parsing.
Thus, the only acceptable language that should come out of the kernel is English.
