It has been already tried years ago to eliminate this ridicle. The answer to your question is put bluntly: It's like that, because some kernel "prima ballerinas", whose names "relate to alternating current", will get at you with mock up somke and mirror woodo examples where it's supposed to be sooo required. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
