Quotes of the week

/*
 * Well, when the cobbler got mad like this, he would go into hiding.  He
 * would not make or sell any boots.  He would not go out at all.  Pretty
 * soon, the coffee shop would have to close because the cobbler wasn't
 * coming by twice a day any more.  Then the grocery store would have to
 * close because he wouldn't eat much.  After a while, everyone would panic
 * and have to move from the village and go live with all their relatives
 * (usually the ones they didn't like very much).
 *
 * Eventually, the cobbler would work his way out of his bad mood, and
 * open up his boot business again.  Then, everyone else could move back
 * to the village and restart their lives, too.
 *
 * Fortunately, we have been able to collect up all the cobbler's careful
 * notes (and we wrote them down below).  We'll have to keep checking these
 * notes over time, too, just as the cobbler does.  But, in the meantime,
 * we can avoid the panic and the reboot since we can make sure that each
 * subtable is doing okay.  And that's what bad_madt_entry() does.

We talk a lot about creating tooling to help newbies submit perfect patches. Maybe we need to spend more time creating tooling to help old timers accept imperfect patches.
