E-mail always makes things sound more confrontational
than you intend them. Got to keep that in mind...

Let me rephrase that:

<RETRO time="2006/10/04 13:06:19">
I would expect that any CRLF handling patch actually
accepted in upstream BASH would not be allowed to
noticeably impact performance.
</RETRO>

No, that's not entirely right. It still presumes that
there's no platform-specific code upstream, plus it
still has some confrontational language.

OK, here's another try:

<RETRO time="2006/10/04 13:06:19">
I would expect that any generic cross-platform CRLF
handling patch actually accepted in upstream BASH
would not noticeably impact performance. Of course,
since I'm only really interested in patches that
affect Linux as well, my viewpoint may be biased.
</RETRO>

OK, that's closer, but it's getting a bit difficult
to parse. Plus the wishy-washiness rather undermines
the point. How about...

Oh, nevermind.

:-)
