I try to avoid such claims. But I provided specific information in my patch descriptions.

Both. - The discussion will depend also on your change acceptance and desire to extend development in the shown software design directions. > I've tried to clarify the one I see -- based on passively observing cocci-related > patches floating around this list. Thanks for your interest. > If you see other potential risks, feel free to mention them. I would prefer a more optimistic view while my software development experiences can influence this considerably. > You seem to know lots more than I do about these things. This can be. - But I hope that you can get further inspirations and ideas if you would find any of the published development activities interesting enough. Regards, Markus
