Take a look at my previous message...I think you'll find the changes
logical.
In response the the script idea, why not just rename every kernel symbol
to something numeric, and change them all with a script? :*) I'm joking!
I think it makes sense to change something in order to add more features,
or to make the kernel code simpler to use, understand, and modify.
I expect the changes I propose the the PnP patch to will be
inconsequential to programmers in short order. Heck, they might
even grow to prefer them :-)
