You don't understand.
If your code is superfluous in the end, we shouldn't add it in the first place.
But if I do relent and let your code in now, we have to live with it, and it's associated maintainence costs, FOREVER.
That's why I'm forcing this to be implemented properly from the start, so we don't end up with two pieces of code that provide essentially the same functionality. -- 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/
