It's not that simple.  Which kernel version?  Which architecture?  (Cris

And I could really care less about your view of things.  What I care about is 
what I can support, and what I'm willing to ship in the tarballs I put 
together.

And you're right that I don't trust your judgement when it comes to what 
should and should not go in.

When svn 10151/10171 went in with just lsattr and chattr, that was a mess but 
it was reasonable; 24 new files in need of consolidation and cleanup.  But 
following that up with 10280 and 11623 was SHEER BLOAT.

You mean like Garret, the guy I pestered into cleaning up e2fsck a bit because 
it was (and still is) the single largest file in the tree?

As for "clean it all up", have you _seen_ it recently?
