My points were: - Clobbering OS that claims the goals of clean design and clean code with mutant alien bodies without counterparts in the native kernel, without request from any relevant standard body. - Collecting garbage in public headers that is unused, misleading and can at best be dummy. - Not know any public users. Extremely unlikely to have any private ones. But as there is insist on keeping that mutant clobber around as it formally leaked into ABI (even if very unlikely to have any single user ever), it's better to implement project identifiers and the other kernel components so this can be meaningful. > > kre >
