I try to holler when a new one of these enters linux-next. Very few people seems to share this pet peeve.
i'm pretty sure i had this conversation once upon a time, possibly on LKML, and the pretty firm consensus is that "CONFIG_" should be reserved for Kconfig variables, but i don't have a link to it.
That "pretty firm consensus" makes sense to me. But please post that link, in this thread, if you ever stumble on it. (Side note: I do think the CONFIG_ prefix is too generic. And I think it would have been easier if the Kconfig symbols themselves would have kept that prefix. They used to have it in 2.4 and earlier, I seem to remember. I don't know why that was changed. But there's little we can do about these two things now , anyhow.) Paul Bolle
