I understand. But the main reason I added that remark was that recently I ran into a few patches where I made annoying mistakes in parsing changes to Makefiles. Doing so I wasted my own and other peoples time. So I decided to be rather verbose when Makefiles are involved. Just so that people can: - mock me for not getting basic stuff right; - stop paying attention to the rest of my remarks, because chances are I didn't understand the patch in question correctly.
