Quote of the week

The problem is that if we allow the release to be stalled by bugs it allows one sluggish maintainer to block the entire kernel. At some point in time we do need to just give up and hope that the bug will get fixed in 2.6.x.y or that it'll just magically fix itself later on (this happens, for various reasons).

We get in the situation where lots of people are sitting there with arms folded, complaining about lack of a new kernel release while nobody is actually working on the bugs. Nobody knows why this happens.

Actually "sprinkling with penguin pee" means that something is blessed (it's like a kernel baptism). Maybe that's not very civilized, but hey, penguins don't have thumbs, and are thus kind of limited in their actions. Don't be speciest.
