How often do you check the status of a document like "CodingStyle" for example? ;-) How do you think about information from a commit like "docs: Remove space-before-label guidance from CodingStyle" (on 2016-09-21)? https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/next/linux-next.git/commit/Documentation/CodingStyle?id=79c70c304b0b443429b2a0019518532c5162817a Regards, Markus
