and this changes my points how? It's not like it's hard to fix, and
the code is moved non-trivially anyway, it's better to have it nicer
if we touch it anyway.

I find that a rather flippant attitude to kernel code quality

Also, isnt it a double standard: why should newbies be held to

Please just fix problems like everyone else is expected to fix it
too and you wont get such review feedback.
