and this changes my points how? It's not like it's hard to fix, and 
the code is moved non-trivially anyway, it's better to have it nicer

I find that a rather flippant attitude to kernel code quality 
issues.

Also, isnt it a double standard: why should newbies be held to

Please just fix problems like everyone else is expected to fix it
