Russ, with all due respect, life gets unnecessarily complicated when on one hand whenever I suggest something for discussion there's always a member of this list (you included) who asks me to show the code. But on the other hand, the comments like the above tend to suggest that such code would be written in vain anyway(*) It especially confusing when one doesn't even know who is in charge of reviewing officially submitted patches. If you are among reviewers the statements along the lines of "patches are scary" are quite scary. Thanks, Roman. (*) with a sole exception of people who maintain their own Plan9 codebase
