Message-ID: <5687939E.7010701@users.sourceforge.net> Date: Sat, 2 Jan 2016 10:08:46 +0100 From: SF Markus Elfring <elfring@...rs.sourceforge.net> To: Julia Lawall <julia.lawall@...6.fr> Cc: Sergei Shtylyov <sergei.shtylyov@...entembedded.com>, libertas-dev@...ts.infradead.org, linux-wireless@...r.kernel.org, netdev@...r.kernel.org, Kalle Valo <kvalo@...eaurora.org>, LKML <linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org>, kernel-janitors@...r.kernel.org Subject: Re: net-libertas: Better exception handling in if_spi_host_to_card_worker() >> I assume that a software development taste can evolve, can't it? > > So far, you have gotten several down votes for this kind of change, I am curious when more contributors will share corresponding opinions. > and no enthusiasm. How many software designers and developers can become enthusiastic about better exception handling to some degree? > The code that is performance critical, you should probably not touch, ever. I imagine that technical evolution will result in further considerations so that "unchangeable" components can be adjusted once more. > The people who wrote it knew what was important and what was not. I might come along at some places where the affected knowledge will also evolve.
