I agree with that

I value those kind of links for beginners and newcomers, really, it's a good
thing to do and we should all do the same.

But I always take in account who I'm reviewing, and adapt my comments,
I think it's sane to not appear as rude because we all forget to check
some stuff when send patches upstream, or at least I often forget...

Anyway, don't make exceptions or change your process for me, I'll live with it.
