Regardless of whether we change this (dashes are easier to read, easier to type, and are what English normally uses -- underscores are for when you can't use a dash for technical reasons), let's not start making rules based on weak statistical inferences. Plus, why limit the search to drivers? E.g. if you looked at arch/ you'd reach the opposite conclusion. -Scott -- 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/
