PS: net/* is actually pretty sane in that respect - the huge volume
being what it is, of course, but still, my impression is that it's
pretty far from the worst sources of crap. OTOH, I might be missing
secondary tree problems - e.g. net/sctp is much worse off in that
respect, AFAICT; there might very well be more of such areas.
