yeah, like most kernel newbies Cyrill is worrying way too much about 
mistakes. In 10 years time he too will have his healthy collection of 
embarrassing brown paperbag incidents and will be a lot more relaxed 
about it, just like the rest of us ;-)

what matters is to fix them quickly and to learn from those mistakes 
that are avoidable.
