I get the feeling that huge comments are not encouraged on the tracker.
May I ask where this impression comes from?
The entire point of the tracker is for bug reports or patches and the
comments on those reports and patches. These comments can be any size, and
are welcome in any size necessary to convey the appropriate information.
In fact, it's strongly encourage that comments go there so that future
developers on that patch can see the train of thoughts and discussion
leading up to its current state in a single place.
If there's somewhere on the Rockbox website that suggests longer comments
are unwelcome, please, let me know so I can see about clearing up any
confusion around exactly what is said.
There isn't a particular part of the website that says long comments are not
allowed, Its just I have never really scene any monster sized comments on
tasks before, and I didn't want to go posting something really huge. I was
worried there might be some kind of unwritten rule, and I didn't fancy
getting my throat jumped down so I thought I was playing safe by posting to
the mailing list.
