Actually I think this is a separate and more serious subject than that one.
Details about coding style are certainly good to document. (Though I don't
think we should go into a lot of detail that is redundant with the GNU
Coding Standards.) But errors in that sphere can always be fixed up later.
API additions are a much more serious issue and many errors can be things
we'll be stuck with for a long time once they appear in a release. (This
is not true of things like __wur annotations, but still.)
Thanks,
Roland
