Message-ID: <alpine.DEB.2.22.394.2310291657330.3136@hadrien> (raw)

This is starting to look better, but there is still an extra occurrence of
"Subject:" above.

The subject line also probebly contains too much information.  "in
interface checks" seems like a detail.  From seeing the subject line only,
probably no one will know what is being referred to.  But when looking at
the patch, it is completely obvious.

It would be helpful to explain why the parentheses are unnecessary.  This
part of the message should also describe what has been done using the
imperative.

The signed off by looks good now.
