Noone _on the linux kernel mailing list_ cares, you mean.
And guess what? That's not true; two people have already popped
up and complained about it.
Sure, you can do things the MS-Windows way and arbitrarily break
compatability from one version of Linux to the next (certainly this
would be nothing new -- software engineering died of a buzzword
overdose early in the 1990s -- but it would be nice to be able to
recommend Linux in terms more glowing than "well, it's Unix, I
guess.")
So CR/LF is a horrible hack that should never have been done in
the first place. Good, it's a better lesson to kernel developers
that when you design a published interface you need to do it well
or else it will haunt you forever.

looking really crappy.
