Will do, but... Linus has recently been ranting to Andrew about latin-1
vs UTF-8 messing up the spelling of people's names. I find this
somewhat hypocritical. Each time I see this kind of thing, it makes me
sick.

As someone who's name regularly gets mis-spelled (for god knows what
reason...)

Either we care about correct spelling of people's names, or we don't.
If we do, then more effort needs to be made to spell my name correctly.
If we don't, then I'll stop complaining. However, we can't have "we
must spell non-latin-1 names correctly" but then go and consistently mis-
spell other people's names and not bat an eye.

I'm asking for equality please.

(And yes, my name does and has been mis-spelled in commits merged into
the kernel.)

Looks fine to me.
