Heh, not quite ;-) Here, I use nano(/pico), from the old times where
(al)pine was my emailer. I can live with vim, but I prefer an editor
that starts in editing mode.

I tried to use emacs a few times, but my fingers are too much into
pico/nano control keys, so it was ending by making me typing a lot
slower. Besides that, nano works well on 99% of my daily needs.

When I need more fancy, like regex substitutions, changing/moving
big code blocks, editing multiple files at the same time, etc,
then I just use a GUI editor (currently kate, but seeking for
a good replacement, as some changes during F33 times - still
present on F34 - caused some regressions).

Ok, I'll prepare a separate patch series addressing it.

Jon,

With regards to the :doc: -> Documentation/ conversion, I guess I'll
do it on an independent patch series against your docs-next tree.

Then, I'll send a separate patch series after 5.14-rc1 in order to
address the stuff under linux-next.

Thanks,
Mauro
