That in turn makes the chances of bugs introduced more likely in the future. It also encourages 'cleanup' patches further down the line, so more churn - which is something that Linus has been complaining about, particularly in regard to ARM stuff. It's far better to get things right the first time round than have to keep touching stuff time and time again - either because of cleanup patches or because of subtle bugs introduced by misreading the code. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-serial" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
