I think it is better to be clear. CHECK was never really clear to me, especially if you see it in isolation, on a file that doesn't also have ERROR or WARNING.

There could also be a severity level: high medium and low. julia > > -- > To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe kernel-janitors" in > the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org > More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html >
