I don't have problems with swearing in the source, but anything that gets out of the sources, and into the binaries (as a printk() does) should be changed (in this case 'printk("ufs_read_super: fucking Sun blows me\n");', every time you attempt to mount your problematic partition).
I really don't care if the sentiments are still there, and I don't care if the exact words are, just as long as they don't get to the binnary (ie there is a '/* fucking Sun blows me */', and 'printk("ufs_read_super: Sun messed it up _AGAIN_\n");', that way, programmers see it, but joe adverage sysadmin dosn't have to worry about posably braking the law (well in the US anyway) ....
