Distasteful it certainly is. You'll notice that LWN has done its best to minimize the coverage of this whole episode. But this is a conviction of a developer known to many LWN readers; I do believe that I was right in posting it.

Yes, I only noticed your obvious lack of coverage when I glanced over the numerous articles
posted on Wired. Considering how LWN compared to Wired dealt with this I'm convinced this
headline and news posting is just fine the way it is.

So... concluding my first outcry - actually thanks for the article.
And all the quality content on LWN. :)

Under covered, in my opinion

We didn't need lots of coverage. That said, given the significance, it was literally buried at
the end of the October 12, 2006 weekly edition:

http://lwn.net/Articles/203091/

That seemed very odd to me. More odd, was that it was filed under "Announcements" rather than
the earlier section "Linux in the News" or perhaps more appropriately, the front page.

This arrest was significant to the development of ReiserFS.
