Distribution quote of the week

These sorts of articles seem to always be written as if the author honestly expects the list to be some sort of profound revelation. That no one even realizes these problems exist, and that now that they've been identified and put into a list, this will somehow be helpful in solving them.

Then, they're usually baffled by the extremely negative reaction that people working on Linux distributions have to a list that, in their eyes, is an unactionable and uninteresting merger of old, already fixed bugs, personal preferences, bare outlines of actual bugs without enough information to fix them, grand sweeping statements of vision with no resources attached, and misunderstandings.
