[ long and complete response removed, available at
https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/10162725/ ]

It was very generous of you to spend so much time on that
informative and thorough reply Al.

My own response was _much_ more terse.

What I wonder is if that sort of guided response can be
setup as documentation for kernel-newbies / janitors so
that future new submitters can have better ideas as to
what code can and should be improved instead of getting
simple and sometimes ill-advised whitespace changes.

cheers, Joe
