All the people that don't use makepatch because it makes stupid patch names care (or any other reason they don't use makepatch). I've actually seen people change good patch names to these bad patch names so it would match makepatch convention. That's insane, so a reason to care. > All it needs to do is work when I run make patch. Also, all one needs to > know is that to generate the patches, you run make makepatch. You can't assume the everyone or even the majority of people use makepatch (thankfully this is not the case). We obviously care. I care enough that I'm considering going through the bureaucratic hassle of getting a patch name convention outlined in documentation thus forcing a change to tools like makepatch. Danfe@ obviously cares enough about his eyesight to want it changed. It really does suck. John
