I as the maintainer have different priority from contributors. The contributed patches want to "get the job done" first, and their solution only need to be "correct and not too ugly". I however in addition need to make sure that the changes make sense in the longer term, and my saying "Ok" to "capital-r" instead of rejecting the patch totally went against that obligation of mine. I'll have a hard time justifying why users need to type that long string that does not convey much information in three months. It was _my_ temporary insanity that came from fatigue. So an weatherbaloon patch was sent as a counterproposal, which I think it shows the best course of action given the existing constraints, but there may be better ones. If you agree, and if you have time and inclination, a reroll in that direction would be appreciated. And it does not have to be you but others on the list. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
