| After looking at email archives I see that many active developers
| are "guilty" of committing 'hi dev@' messages.
It used to be common. More recently it has mostly ended.
| If there are enough
| people who oppose this, they're welcome to start a new thread on
| appropriate mailing list.
Was done a couple of years ago. That's why this practice largely stopped.
| 2. you fixed it in a local tree and you will later have to deal with
| a conflict if dev@ needs to tweak your patch for whatever reason.
You throw away your copy and update again (most times.) Same as
when you're testing a patch and a cleaned up version is committed,
| On the other hand, 'hi dev@' notifies dev@ after the fact.
Only if they see it, e-mail is more reliable, and polite.
| They don't have to do anything to fix things.
If "they" broke it, why is that a good thing?
