Not sure its really worth it. Does "ABRT IDNF" actually tell you any more than the hex code ? In fact I find the hex code clearer because its usually the combination of state (0x51) etc that tells the story. No objection to it going in and on a correctness basis Acked-by: Alan Cox <alan@...hat.com> - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
