Agreed.

"find /usr/src -type f | xargs egrep 'a-z|A-Z|0-9'" returns just under
3600 hits on -current.  Based on a quick scan, most of these are
regexps that should be replaced by character classes but someone will
need to manually work through them all.

I agree with Andrea that you should mail Ruslan directly to discuss
the best way forward.  A single PR with a patch for all about 3000
problematic regexps probably couldn't be committed but we don't
want 3000 PR's about one problem either.
