Do we have a "valid" case of adding new aliases? I don't think it is the case, so we can warn of new aliases introduction in checkpatches.sh. At worse, if a valid case is identified later, checkpatches.sh is only a warning in patchwork and maintainers will manually review this warning. -- David Marchand
