min/max status?

min/max status?

[Herbert Rosmanith]

hi,

I'd like to know of min/max will stay in kernel.h in their current (and
fucking ugly, IMO) form or if they eventually will be moved to something
like type_min() type_max().

I've read a lot of emails contra the 3-parm. min/max macros. Does our
supreme deity listen to HIS followers or is this more like a
"le etat est moi" --- "der kernel bin ich" question?

If you are so blindly opposed to the min/max thing, just use
if (x > z) {
	go do thing
}
else {
	go do other thing
}

Otherwise, get over it and lets move on.
