My examples were extreme but another nickname of mine is Christo, from Christian and I have read on IRC people that got offended by my profile pic and this nickname... But again mine were just some reason of why I still think real name is the correct way. Honestly I'm still confused what was the big idea on the kernel to permits nickname... Some month ago I had like 6 reviewers that were angry with me using Ansuel Smith instead of my real name (and me having to change the SoB losing at least 3 years of kernel contributions) But again lets make a vote and put and end to this. It's causing more confusion with some commits being accepted and then someone yelling on IRC. _______________________________________________ openwrt-devel mailing list openwrt-devel@lists.openwrt.org https://lists.openwrt.org/mailman/listinfo/openwrt-devel
