And I don't have +AD4 any issue with you guys sticking to a certain ordering in your +AD4 respective subsystems. I occasionally shuffle tags when I commit things +AD4 in SCSI too. +AD4 +AD4 I just think it should be properly documented if there is a preferred +AD4 way to order things... When I tried to look up documentation for this I couldn't find anything under the Documentation directory. Maybe it's there but I didn't look carefully enough. All I could find on the web is e-mails from Linus in which he explains that the order of Signed-off-by's should match the chain of authorship. Bart.
