Sorry, I've not been ignoring this, I've just not yet worked up the courage to apply it. Yes, Linus said he's fine with C++-style comments, but I still expect some pushback when people start actually sending them. I don't quite feel a sense of community consensus on this one. Still, what the heck, I'll go ahead and apply it. We can always revert it when people start screaming :) jon -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-doc" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
