That's right. The only time I ever saw Linus express an opinion on this was in a post on lkml in which he said he didn't like the big monolithic help file. It didn't seem especially directed to me; I am not the CML1 maintainer.
But I took it as a suggestion for CML2. I told him I was willing to do it after CML2 cutover, but was not sure he had considered the ramifications for maintaining rulebase translations. To this request for clarification and guidance, I received no reply. -- <a href="http://www.tuxedo.org/~esr/">Eric S.
