In today's small pet peeve, you seem to have caught the same pointless
verbiage bug that I've been editing out of other peoples'
explanations: I really don't think it adds any value to talk about how
one issue was fixed by X patches, and another was fixed by a single
patch.

Just say "Fix a category of bugs ..." and "Fix various uncore ..". The
important thing is what got fixed, not that it was a "Five-patch
series fixing XYZ" like some people seem to think.

No, this isn't a big deal. I edit other peoples messages a lot more.
Some people seem to not understand imperative mood, and keep doing
that "Series fixing XYZ" thing.

The only reason I mention it is that I don't think I _used_ to do it
for your messages.

Or maybe it's just that I've been looking at too many of these, and I
went "Not Ingo too!"

Feel free to ignore my little impotent outburst.
