Would people even notice such a warning? People who are using long-term keys and inserting them into the kernel build probably ought to be paying attention and know what they're doing. There are relatively few of them, and I think that as long as the change is clearly documented, we should probably be fine. Besides, *anyone* relying on that horrid wildcard crap should have *expected* it to go away because it was an abomination :) -- David Woodhouse Open Source Technology Centre david.woodho...@intel.com Intel Corporation -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
