It's obvious from the subject, indeed. But commits with no descriptions are ugly. Add something, for example a small "why" would be nice. > The Cc list comes from scripts/get_maintainers.pl as suggested by > Documentation/SubmittingPatches: "5) Select e-mail destination."

Most people won't really care for the entire lifetime of this patch. And, come on, the Cc tags take more space than the actual patch. -- Luca. -- 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
