And all the scripts checking for the existing messages in log files?
Screw them, right?
That's a good point. One possible suggestion would be to submit more than
one stdmsgs.h files. One a legacy file, and one that is more consistent
from message to message.. shooting for a gradual migration.
Ultimately, I think standard messages would greatly support/simplify
scripts, especially between the myriad of ethernet drivers. Each one
reports the data slightly differently, so you're error log analysis needs
to recognize 100 or so ways of being told that the link just went down.

This whole idea is starting to leave a very bad taste in
my mouth...
