Great! I have a megapatch lined up as well. In the spirit of sustainable kernel development, atomic operations are being renamed to renewable operations.

I think that I may just have to start a thread to protest your renewable operations patch. The naming conventions used in the new macros unnecessarily stick out under review of the source code where they are implemented, thus overshadowing and blocking out my abilities to inspect less prominent features in the code where they are used. I think that these aesthetic concerns in this situation override any possible gains through reduction in operation waste, and the changes should be reconsidered under these grounds. In addition, I (and others) fear that these renewable operations will render the development of devel/liboil obsolete, and its developers unemployed. -- Coleman Kane _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/cvs-all To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
