So, I think it's okay\nto use them wherever possible.\n\nBut maybe someone on the mailing list will be able to provide better\nand correct explanation. cc(ing) Christian and mailing list.\n\n> Meanwhile, I'll try to work on another microproject to get familiar\n> with the patch submission process.\n\nWe generally expect one microproject per student. But contributions\nare always welcome :)\n\nThanks,\nHariom\n"}]}
