Andrew, thank you very much for thoughts, as always very well
appreciated.

Just FYI:
You can't take this patch as if it was sent in as a stand-alone patch.
It is actually part of a 12-patch-series which derived from
a splitted 3- or 4-patch series.

Anyhow, your interpretation is pretty accurate, I'm new to the project,
trying to find my way through and might be too hard on the list in
doing so.

But I have to say, the SAMBA team is not making it too easy either.

Sometimes certain (coding-)practices are OK and sometimes they're evil.
Sometimes a patch is too big and sometimes too small to be worth it.
Sometimes README.Coding is the bible and sometimes the bible is wrong.
Some say, do one-liner-cleanups "while-at-it" fixing stuff others say
patches need to fix/change one thing at a time. 

I know, not all projects out there do things the same way, but it would
be a lot easier if SAMBA could be slightly more consistent in its
opinions/rules. # Opening the door to get flooded by disagreements.

Regarding bike-shedding and cleanups vs real bugfixes.
I recently sent in 3-4 patches for the s3 area, guess which one got the
most attention and is pushed already while the "mem leak" one is still
sitting there :-)

As for the cleanup-only patches, I asked before sending my first one,
how the SAMBA team handles/wantd those and I heard they're very
welcome, especially if they reduce LOC.

I'm not complaining, just saying.
So, please go easy on me, I'm usually getting around pretty quick and
won't bother you guys anymore...at least not more than others :-)

Cheers Swen
