I definitely agree that 14 is below the limit, but 30... Hell knows, from what I see on the box I'm using right now it seems to fall into several cathegories: * Very-Long-And-Verbose-Named-HOWTO.html * manpages for X and Tcl functions with obscenely long names * *.deb and corresponding *.diff.gz and *.dsc * var/state/apt/lists/* * ghostscript maps Hmm... Cutoff seems to sit somewhere around 45 - above that there are only apt-get droppings and they definitely are over the top. Dunno, you may be right, but looks like I never had a need to create anything that long. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
