It was discussed last time. I think it's better to have descriptions by default. Far more user friendly.

Would need some changes to the alias code to have two descriptions though. -Andi -- a...@linux.intel.com -- Speaking for myself only _______________________________________________ Linuxppc-dev mailing list Linuxppc-dev@lists.ozlabs.org https://lists.ozlabs.org/listinfo/linuxppc-dev
