In your reality - perhaps... BTW, somebody ought to inject a bit of reality into the ridiculous wikipedia page on LKML. Starting with * a lot of developers are not and had not been subscribed to it for decades. That includes Linus, among other people. * those of us who still are subscribed to it have to choose between reading through literally thousands of postings and dropping most of them unread. * an l-k posting not Cc'd to saner lists and/or specific people is quite likely to be missed. So absense of NAKs on l-k may or may not count as "OK" from your point of view, but it does not mean that there is any kind of consensus. More to the point, if your... suggestions would go into D/CodingStyle, replying to objections along the lines of "where the hell has that come from and when have I agreed to that?" with "why haven't you replied when I posted them to l-k?" is *NOT* likely to be well-received.
