Also there is nothing in CodingStyle that prohibits out: labels. I
wrote that section and I wrote it in a deliberately way because no one
wants to see a bunch of "cleanup" patches that change the label names
for no reason.

People have been complaining about this in the kernel-summit mailing
list as if CodingStyle bans out labels and that it's my fault. Neither
of these complaints are accurate.
