Quotes of the week
So -mm is still very useful just because *Andrew* tests it, and
finds all kinds of issues with it, but I literally suspect that
Andrew himself is personally a big part of that, which is kind of
wasteful - we should be able to spread out the pain more. Andrew is
also too damn polite when something goes wrong.
-- Linus Torvalds
The overall stability in recent -mm's was not sufficiently high and
we ran out of time to find all the bugs. I shouldn't have merged
all those patches last week - they contained an exceptional amount
of garbage. This all means that more bugs than usual will probably
leak into mainline, and we'll have to fix them there.

Quotes of the week Posted May 3, 2007 19:42 UTC (Thu) by kingdon (subscriber, #4526) [Link] From further down in the same Linus message: "people tend to send things to-mm a bit *too* eagerly, because there is no downside - Andrew is a 'cheap date' testing-wise, and always puts out ;)"
Linus' comment on Andrew Posted May 6, 2007 5:09 UTC (Sun) by pr1268 (subscriber, #24648) [Link] "...Andrew is a 'cheap date' testing-wise, and always puts out ;)" I laughed. Out loud. That has got to be the funniest quote by Linus I've ever read. Seriously, though, the kernel developers really need to avoid taking advantage of Andrew like this (I couldn't resist that pun). Either that, or this is a (not so) subtle hint from Linus telling Andrew to be more discriminating when accepting code into -mm.
