Linus on what remains to be mergedLinus on what remains to be mergedPosted Oct 31, 2002 17:18 UTC (Thu) by proski (subscriber, #104)In reply to: Linus on what remains to be merged by Schneelocke Parent article: Linus on what remains to be merged User base is essential for a feature to exist. Maintainers come and go. There is no way Linus can ensure that the feature will remain maintained except when it going to have many users. Impact on the other parts of the kernel is also not trivial to estimate. Added complexity can discourage new developers from even touching that code. Time of security specialists is too valuable to ask them to audit the code that just a few people are going to use. I cannot speak for Linus, but I understand his attitide.
