Quote of the week

I claim that there's just not a single valid case of doing wide-scale changes atomically and departing from the current to-be-stabilized kernel tree materially. _Every_ large-scale API change can be done in a staged way, with each subsystem adopting to the change at their own pace, it just has to be planned well and tested well enough and has to be executed persistently.
