I don't write any code for Linux, but I do know you guys work hard to obtain the respect for the Linux kernel from the industry. So why include unprofessional verbosity?
Sure, you might want to vent your frustrations out by showing fellow programmers how you felt at that point in the code, and other professional programmers, like the ones writing Sun code, might include things like this in their code. But, their code isn't published and spread throughout the world for others to scrutinize.
Just my two cents. Flame me at will. ;-)
