and, as we've all seen, nick's other flaw is that, quite simply, he's selfish and greedy. his entire obsession is with the output of checkpatch, which means he wants to grab all the trivial cleanup (the low-hanging fruit, as it were) for himself, and not leave any for others. rather than take the time to understand the code, nick wants checkpatch to do all the work for him. in the end, nick doesn't want to do any work or understand how the kernel actually works -- he just wants patches, and he wants them as quickly and cheaply as possible.
Nick and his patches may have plenty of flaws, but I think it is a bit crazy to call his effort to get his first patch into the kernel greedy.
i was actually referring to nick's more recent posting where he vowed to use his patch as the template to start cleaning up all of drivers/staging/. i thought i was fairly clear that there is nothing wrong with *starting* with stylistic cleanup, but nick made it quite clear he planned on doing this all over drivers/staging. *that* is what i was referring to. rday -- ======================================================================== Robert P.
