I don't want to be punished for running checkpatch.pl like I'm supposed to while those who don't can get away with more. A --pedantic mode would be fine although probably no one besides the author would use it :). The stuff that gets reported by the default invocation needs to matter, otherwise checkpatch.pl isn't useful and people will bypass it. Stefan
