It does that only for people with editors which wrap stuff like that
into column 1. Those people (which includes myself on some occasions)
are _used_ to seeing stuff like that in column 1, so it's natural. And
it's text which is of little importance; not something which has much
relevance to the code flow.
It .looks. .like. .crap. to many other people, and saying random stupid
wrong things doesn't alter that very simple fact.
No, it looks like crap for _some_ people. And making it look like crap
for _everyone_, which is what your patch does, doesn't alter that fact
either.
David,
Some readers of linux kernel sources are blind.
They use a kind of terminal that 'displays' a single line of 80 'characters'
(or even 40) called a 'Braille Display'
This kind of terminal is very expensive, and I think the 80 column one is the
most you can get (price : about 7000$).
I am ok to be a litle bit upset by this 80 limitation that looks odd on my
1000$ 24" display, but reminds me the fact that some human people are different.
So please don't count me as part of your _everyone_.
Thank you
Eric
