We want our contributors to spend their anger, resentment, and
frustration emotional resources on finding and fixing broken code. We
do not want those valuable resources wasted on unfortunately worded
comments.

Hi Tejun,
Today is "Spread the Word to End the Word" day, so I thought it would be
an interesting exercise to see how often the r-word is used in kernel
code comments. Suprisingly, to me at least, it's rare. In fact it
seems only libata uses it in code commentary.
Please consider applying this patch to call slow-to-reset devices
outliers.
Regards,
Dan
