This impression is, in fact, false, as has already been discussed
elsewhere. I had hoped that discussion would suffice.

As mentioned there: The original commit explicitly said "Explicit
guidelines have demonstrated success in other projects and other areas
of the kernel."; this is precisely the kind of explicit guideline it
refers to. Listing explicit cases to cover does not imply other cases
are not covered; it does, however, ensure that the listed cases *are*,
and helps people know that they're covered.

This patch is not OK, and defeats one of the purposes of the original
change.
