I don't care strongly enough to cause a respin of half the series, and it's not your problem that I waited until the last revision went into mmots to review and comment. But if you agreed to a revert, would you consider tacking on a revert patch at the end of the series?In this case, I'm going to ask the other people on the cc for a tie-breaker. If someone else prefers the old names then I'm happy for your patch to be applied on top with my ack instead of respinning the whole series. Anyone for a tie breaker?I am aggressively undecided. I guess as it's a bit of a 51/49 situation, the "stay with what people are familiar with" benefit tips the balance toward the legacy names?I still can't decide. It's currently still a draw in terms of naming. If you're worried, use the old naming. It wouldn't be the first time I thought a name was odd.
Well I dunno. We can leave the series as-is for now and we can merge the rename-it-back patch sometime during the next -rc cycle if we find that people are running around in confusion and tumbling out of high windows. -- To unsubscribe, send a message with 'unsubscribe linux-mm' in the body to majordomo@kvack.org.
