I just don't care a single bit. :) It was just an explanation why tabs used in the style of the kernel are useless idea. And if people want tabs, they should use them as indent only, not as a broken random whitespace mix. I think, it makes zero sense what's done with tabs in the kernel. But hey, I just don't want any tabs anymore, and don't care about undefined tab with as a feature. So all is totally fine with spaces only in systemd. We have more important stuff to care about. :) Kay _______________________________________________ systemd-devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/systemd-devel
