One thought that crossed my mind recently is that over the last few years what is considered "news" has changed. For example, this retrospective focused almost entirely on legal and political issues. Ubuntu is a footnote, and the Debian release not mentioned at all.
I'm not saying there's anything wrong with that, but I find it curious how times have changed.
I for one look forward to a time when we can get back to coding and not worry about such issues, but I'm not sure if we'll see it in the next 50 years.

You're right about the press coverage, but I think coding is alive andwell. The rate of 2.6 Linux development these days, even if it is a bit
more scarring than it used to be, is simply astounding.
