In theory, yes, in practice, as long as there is an exception to the rule, it comes down to a question of "is this case special like net or not?". I'd rather not waste time debating that on a per-subsystem basis vs just getting it all documented for contributors. I do think it is worth clarifying in the guidelines of writing a profile to make an effort to not be special, and that odd looking rules will be questioned (like libnvdimm statement continuation), but lets not fight the new standards fight until it becomes apparent where the outliers lie. _______________________________________________ Ksummit-discuss mailing list Ksummit-discuss@lists.linuxfoundation.org https://lists.linuxfoundation.org/mailman/listinfo/ksummit-discuss
