huh? what is facetious? me saying that the naming convention should clearly
say what type and action is or me pointing at cases where your
suggestion is ambiguous?
or are you trying to say that you have no real arguments?
or are you trying to say that you will decide all names based on unwritten
rules and everyone who doesnt understand you rules is facetious?

also its funny that on nut-devel you where nitpicking that the spec wasnt
clear enough and now you attack my for trying to clarify a really ambiguous
single line suggestion of a nameing convention
