Come to think of that, we clearly need a new file in Documentation/*, documenting such headers. Why don't we organize a subcommittee^Wnew maillist devoted to that? That would provide another entry route for contributors, lowering the overall entry barriers even further... Seriously, looks like Andi is right - we've got ourselves a developing beaurocracy. As in "more and more ways of generating activity without doing anything even remotely useful". Complete with tendency to operate in the ways that make sense only to beaurocracy in question and an ever-growing set of bylaws... --
