I think you'd have less overall upset in yourself and in other people if you would do more than repeat yourself on patch submissions via mailing lists.
To my knowledge when the comment block style was added to CodingStyle in 2006, you didn't mention anything about it.
https://lkml.org/lkml/2006/12/7/41
and I don't see any other mentions from you.
When I suggested adding something specifically for net and drivers/net, you were at least dispraising.

I think it'd be useful to have this preference you have for block comment style written out somewhere other than the email archives.
cheers, Joe
