A few comments to make...

• A long commentary doesn't necessarily make a good one. Try to summarize the main points of the paper concisely in the first paragraph.
• I understand some papers were hard to read especially for the people who are not used to kernel work. Mentioning it was hard to read is okay, but hard-to-read cannot be the "limitation" of the paper.
• If you think the paper was well-written, in what sense? Try to be more specific on strength and weakness of the paper.
• Getting 1 point doesn't mean your commentary was bad. I'd like to see some interesting points to give you 2 points.
