Including a subsystem in the summary line leaves less space for the
actual content, and that space is already at premium.  AFAIU, the
temptation to break the "standard" format is to some degree explained
by the fact that many "* file (func): Desc" descriptions are _almost_
short enough to act as their own summary line; your proposal will
disallow more of those, due to the need to state the subsystem there.

So it doesn't sound to me as an improvement, in general.

Thanks.
