I'm not really "offended" since I don't really care about the state of Linux kernel's log. But since you insist on the discussing the case so much, let me add that I'm a person with very low tolerance for humour in the working process. I like jokes in the chat, email, or even in bugtracker's comments for that matter, but the git log (or any change log, for that matter) must be very clean, clear and boring. So even though I said > I have no idea of what constitutes this Morton's work and if he could've done better I very much believe that he could have. For 2 reasons: 1. There are multiple people with huge, broad, non-specific merges in that list, and every single one of them, did, in fact do better than Andrew Morton. 2. I believe that consistency in logs is good, so even in the case somebody really, truly, actually cannot say more, than just "updates" about the changes he introduces (which I don't think is ever true, but let's assume it is), I think "updates|updates|updates|updates" would still be a mile better, than "updates|more updates|yet more updates|still more updates".
