I'm not that stuffy :-)

I don't like messed up cvs logs though. This sort of noise gets in the way
when you're grepping for some change, or even just trying to eyeball them
in a pager. This is a functional issue, not a "stuffiness" issue.

I've suggested before that we have a LIST: option in the commit template
for stuff that goes to the list and is not put in the logs so people can
talk to the list if they want.

A side note on humour; "tuna fish" is an english language pun whereas I
suspect the above quote means nothing to a large percentage of the user
base.
