This is of course not acceptable, but apparently it's because some people develop on Windows and don't use editors that can be set to automatically adjust to linux - or maybe they're too lazy to do it :) We have the policy that all scripts should be LF, of course, but rarely police it - because if we were to automatically update all files in this regard, the next commit, the whole file would be committed and the diff would be meaningless. It's much better to approach the developers individually or just file a bug. I think filing a bug for this wouldn't be a bad thing. What does everyone else think?
