The kernel's hierarchical maintainer model works quite well from thestandpoint of allowing thousands of developers to work together without(often) stepping on each others' toes. But that model can also make lifepainful for developers who are trying to make changes across numeroussubsystems. Other possible source of pain include changes related tolicensing or those where maintainers don't understand the purpose of thework. Nick Alcock has managed to hit all of those hazards together in hiseffort to perform what would seem like a common-sense cleanup of thekernel's annotations for loadable modules.
