Sorry, but from above I didn't get why. The commit message tells only about %pD, but patch changes behaviour of the ~100 or so users of "%pd" without any explanation. Besides that the patch is prepended only by one change (which is also not related to %pD), while we have ~30 users which behaviour got changed. -- With Best Regards, Andy Shevchenko
