Re: [PATCH] remove useless casts in if_gre.c

The definition of ip_output function says that the first argument is a pointer to an mbuf, but the other are variadic. In this case style(9) states that (type *)NULL should be used.

That particular user might understand what it is that they are running, but the person who sees them using their machine or even sees their screenshots on the web will not. The question we have to ask ourselves is: how do we make sure that people recognise a GNOME install when they see one? How is this fucking insane? A Microsoft marketing manager couldn't do better ;) As far as I know they are going to release their own linux distro called GNOME OS with it's own API (GNOME API) and stuff. In this case making GNOME incompatible with everything else and all that talk about brands and marketing both make sense.
