Sure, and honestly, I understand what 0444 is better than seeing:
S_IRUSR | S_IRGRP | SIROTH
Heck, 0444 is more understandable to me than S_IRUGO, because honestly, those macros are just as cryptic as 0444 is. Working with Unix/Linux systems since 1991, I understand the octo numbers very well. And I'm sure most other people do to. Any file that I'm Cc'd on here will get an automatic NAK from me.

Yes, it's a very good way to be added to everyone's /dev/null folder too. Each subsystem should have one patch that covers all its files. Not a patch per file!
What? Is Intel now give extra bonuses for commit numbers?
Sorry, but I'm a little grumpy when my phone starts popping like a popcorn machine while I'm having my breakfast because of these silly emails.
