-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 More importantly, how many sysadmins can trust some of the new bugs introduced by politics in the Linux Kernel? ReiserFS for a big example: there was no real technical reason to include Reiser in a stable kernel (it's still unproven and broke in 2.4.2), the only reason was that Reiser advocates screamed loud enough so that Linus relented. Another big one is the ATA works in progress: the only reason it was included in 2.3.99 was that Hedrick threw a hissy fit and released a 'sploit for the older code. I'm thinking that Linux is becoming 10 layer OSI compliant really quickly...
