These short cuts are simple, and fall naturally out of the current command line parsing. I don't expect validating them to be any harder than the translation I already do into the canoncical nfs[4]:IP:/path:options format -- you validate the canonical. Documenting them is not very difficult, either. Maybe there is a potential of user confusion, but you hide them away in the "Legacy support" or "Non-recommended" appendix. I simply don't see the problem. But, I'm tired of having this same coversation every few days and I don't care enough to continue it now. I'm not going to lose sleep if these options are gone, so rip them out if that's your fancy. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe initramfs" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
