How exalted our standards have become.
It's nice to have an article to direct newbies to that isn't years old.

I wouldn't direct newbies to it, as the writing is sub-par for Jon's standards too. Do we really need to know that Jim gave gushing bios of Linus and Andrew or that there was an ovation at the end? That bit reads more like corny grade-school writing ("What I did on my vacation to Brazil") than that of an accomplished journalist.
Seems like Jon knew the material sucked, so he was phoning in the article.

It's an article newbies and some of us oldies enjoyed reading. Perhaps the person to be directed away is yourself, jordanb? What else can one say to a reader who berates a journalist for writing about events the reader has no interest in?
I, for one, give thanks to Jon and Jake and everybody responsible for making LWN an outstanding journalistic institution (a rarity in their profession, these days), and for being of consistently exceptional value to the Linux Community.
We're damned lucky to have them.

I don't know about anyone else, but I was also hoping for some new content.

Let me add I was actually hoping for much more. Kinda like the Google Tech Talk about git. I think it was Linus best talk or interview, atleast that I've seen.
