No, because we need to get a feeling of what makes sense for all these options first.

I don't think so. So until you do, I don't care what you have to say.

This is exactly why we're trying to get a feeling of this by _running_ it and _then_ _bitching_ about it. And this is for DEVELOPERS only - if they've introduced it in their scripts, then they should be able to fix any changes very easily. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kbuild" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
