:TAILQ_FIRST. While you are certainly right if you are going to design a
Yes, but in the last year we have changed the list type for a number
of lists in the system. I had to change the mountq from LIST_ to
TAILQ_, for example, and a number of other people have had to change
other lists as well.
The macros made it easy to change. Even so I had to cleanup a handful

initialize the list head (it isn't for a TAILQ). If we need to
change a list type that assumptions have been made on, it becomes
much harder.
