Rationale: Reduces attack surface on kernel devs opening the links for MITM as HTTPS traffic is much harder to manipulate. Deterministic algorithm: For each file: If not .svg: For each line: If doesn't contain `\bxmlns\b`: For each link, `\bhttp://[^# \t\r\n]*(?:\w|/)`: If neither `\bgnu\.org/license`, nor `\bmozilla\.org/MPL\b`: If both the HTTP and HTTPS versions return 200 OK and serve the same content: Replace HTTP with HTTPS.

Klimov <grandmaster@al2klimov.de>' v5.7..master (Actually letting a shell for loop submit all this stuff for me.) If there are any URLs to be removed completely or at least not just HTTPSified: Just clearly say so and I'll *undo my change*.

Sorry again to all maintainers who complained about subject lines. Now I realized that you want an actually perfect prefixes, not just subsystem ones. I tried my best... And yes, *I could* (at least half-)automate it. Impossible is nothing! :) kernel/capability.c | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-)
