I see no particular reason to change - it's just one of those things. Two third of commits don't use [subsystem] and 90% don't use trailing period. Reasons to change would be a) consistency and b) the time it takes to occasionally fix up patches which use [subsystem] as I earlier described. I don't think these are terribly important, really. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netdev" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
