+ The Obvious Fix Rule
+
+All maintainers listed in this file are allowed to check in obvious
+fixes.
+
+An "obvious fix" means that there is no possibility that anyone will
+disagree with the change. Something like bypassing an interface will
+result in instantaneous and loud complaints.
+

+able to find fault with the change" - if so, then it's not obvious and
+needs to be posted first. :-)
