They are one of the oldest and humorous messages we have in the system, and more importantly, users will see them only once on a badly configured system. If there is no real-life reason (e.g. "if we do not change this message, Nuclear reactors will start misbehaving"), I would rather keep them as they are for hysterical raisins. But that is just my preference to keep Linus's twisted sense of humor. -- 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
