Is this only 1st level subsystem. Or would this extend to > 2nd level subsystems as well? It's a perogative of whatever the desire is of the trees your changes percolate up into on the way to Linus. John may want certain things to look certain ways in the wireless code, and I may have such requirements too. Therefore a wireless change is subjected to both John's and my tastes. I'm really done talking about this, and I'm absolutely not working on documentation or checkpatch.pl changes. Instead I'm going to work on fixing bugs, reviewing patches, and putting together -stable submissions. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-wireless" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
