The GitHub discussion doesn't explicitly address the issue of quoting,
and it's on GitHub not in the commit description. Links, while
helpful, do not count; the commit descriptions must stand on their
own.
I generally frown upon patches which change the record formatting,
this patch is no exception. Please revise the patch so there is no
change and in the records emitted from the kernel and resubmit.
