Once you figure all that out, you're still obligated to hand-polish
typedefs.list to be consistent with whatever Bruce's machine's copy of
objdump does (or is it Tom's?). You need to sort the entries so they
kinda look like they originated from the same source as existing
entries, since my Debian machine seems to produce somewhat different
results to RHEL, for whatever reason. It's hard to imagine a worse use
of committer time.

I think that something like this new policy could work if the
underlying tooling was very easy to use and gave perfectly consistent
results on everybody's development machine. Obviously, that just isn't
the case.
