I don't have problems with swearing in the source, but anything that gets
out of the sources, and into the binaries (as a printk() does) should be
changed (in this case 'printk("ufs_read_super: fucking Sun blows me\n");',
every time you attempt to mount your problematic partition).

I really don't care if the sentiments are still there, and I don't care if
the exact words are, just as long as they don't get to the binnary (ie
there is a '/* fucking Sun blows me */', and 'printk("ufs_read_super: Sun
messed it up _AGAIN_\n");', that way, programmers see it, but joe adverage
sysadmin dosn't have to worry about posably braking the law (well in the
US anyway) ....
