It's an object, not the subject. The quoted changelog heading is a complete sentence nevertheless, as it is an imperative sentence. Its subject is implied. It could end in a period or in an exclamation mark. But as it's actually a heading, it doesn't have to and probably shouldn't. -- Stefan Richter -=====-=-=== ==-- =-=-= http://arcgraph.de/sr/ -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
