Hi,

It seems some people have taken to faking sign off in patches, which is
a bad thing. I would like to propose to revert anything that has fake
signed-off-by lines.

Case in point:
http://cgit.openembedded.org/cgit.cgi/openembedded/commit/?id=28bc48904e31c3a63cf5a60bc005ed8fb359cc52

Can that please get reverted? Andrea didn't ask me for a sign off and I
didn't give one.

Apart from that, the commit is bogus, it just adds a
'udev/udev-151/udev-compat-static.patch' file in ${S} (of all places!)
instead of actually patching the udev init file.
