Linus was certainly right about one thing: there are indeed people who claim that Greg KH is a dickhead and worse, on a weekly basis. Such comments are as productive as one might expect.

Some numbers and thoughts on the stable kernels

Well, Greg KH *is* a dickhead, no question about it.
He's one of the few kernel guys whose messages go straight
to /dev/null in my LKML filter. This also lowers the
traffic by a considerable amount as you no longer see
his endless "stable preview" threads.

unpolite, unrespectful, uninformative and subjective

Well, that may be true, but he is definitely a more useful dickhead than you are.

Are there any signs of him going crazy yet?
