Maybe turning these into properties could work. I could look at adding such

these are all machines that Mark maintains maybe he should do something

agrees removing anything so then he should provide patches to clean this up
the way he prefers. I could try to make patches but I'm afraid those would
become wasted effort so may I only do it when there's an approved way that
will be accepted.
I don't think these types of snide comment are appropriate.
Sorry, this is just my experience so far with patches that touch files you
maintain. Last example is trying to change Sun machines to not use global
vmstate that could have been done to clean this up and bring it in line
with everyting else as these Sun machines are the last active user of this
and have no migration guarantee but you insisted to keep it until the last
possible minute. I did not mean to offend you, just wanted to say that
since whatever I submit usually does not meet your preferred way it's best
if I don't try to make patches that then would be discarded because you
want something else and you should at lest tell in advance what would be
your preference here.
