Running the scripts is one thing. The more important thing is to figure out
how we are going to review these patches and agree that the conclusion is
correct. Ideally we have lots of Reviewed-by's on each of them.

Yes, it's 500+ and some of them are really large, but the point is that at
least in my opinion it's enough to carefully review the 'normalized'
patterns which are in the change log.

I have some postprocessing checks (not yet in utils) which verify that
author/copyright notices which are in the middle of the removed crap are
preserved.

The other issue which I worked on yesterday night (krobot finding a few
corner cases where the patcher did not handle some odd comment formatting
correctly) should be gone. I just started a new full run to verify that.

Apropos changelog. You said they need some care. If you check out the utils
repo, there are templates in the step2/3 directories and the subdirectories
of step1. If you could work on them that would be appreciated.

Thanks,

	tglx
