Stuff initally written by sane people tends to get all sorts of crap into it. Unfortunately. The problem being: very few people actually read the code in drivers/*. And crap accumulates. The messier it is, the faster it gets shitted. So relying on the people finding crappy ->write() instances and ridiculing the authors in public is... well, somewhat naive. There's more than enough crap already and that simply doesn't happen. It _can_ be done, but it will take more than just having the code sitting there. - 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/
