Not sure about this ...

Looking at how branching, inline comments and even the cover letter have laid out, my initial guess would be that this is generated. It's just does not "feel" how anyone would write their changes.

I'd like to point out that personally my viewpoint does not come from any opionated standing point. Using any form of code generation to get some stuff ongoing is absolutely fine, as far as I'm concerned. The thing is, however, that it is exactly *placeholder code*, and for my eyes the patch set looks like placeholder/stub code as a feature.

Obviously I don't know facts, this is exactly a guess, and I absolutely don't enjoy making claims like this, and I hope that I have completely misunderstood the topic.
