[PATCH] CodingGuidelines: remove suggestion to write commands in Perl/SH

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

Documentation/CodingGuidelines, 2007-11-08).

Since then the consensus changed to having no new such commands unless
necessary, and existing ones have been actively migrated to C.
