Kernel.org's road to recovery

i don't see 'first impression' in there, but i do see 'assessment' which in my book is much closer to research than what you now claim you meant. but let it be ;), the main thing is that you now admitted that there is such a thing as security bugs (you're one step ahead of the kernel devs) and their research is not useless, contrary to what Linus/Ingo/etc claimed over the years. the next step you'll have to make is that doing the research is not enough, it has to be published to be of value and then we're on the same page and can ask the kernel devs together to not suppress such research. i'm so rooting for you!
