Quotes of the week

IMHO we ought to have a policy that anything of any relevance has *two* maintainers or more. That way there is always someone to help pick a new maintainer if one drops out and we are mostly not at the mercy of real world happenings. We also need to be much more active in giving maintainers the boot if they vanish (and having two maintainers will balance the effect nicely).

We do not say "user mode shouldn't". Seriously. EVER. User mode *does*, and we deal with it.

Call me immature, but Linus' comment makes me want to grep everything he's posted to the LKML for "user mode shouldn't". ;)
