Quotes of the week

Usually my git problems are root-caused down to my lack of a PhD in hermeneutic metaphysiology, but not this time, methinks.

This has to be the best quote in a long time. If any University chancellor reads LWN, can you please give Andrew Morton an honorary doctorate in hermeneutic metaphysiology, so that he can continue working on the Linux kernel? Or maybe a Masters in paracomputology? Some award screwy enough that it doesn't harm the credibility of either giver or recipient, but rather serves to illustrate his substantial genuine contributions and also illustrate by the vehicle of humour the genuine difficulties faced not only by Linux but by the majority of University endeavours as well of maintaining coherency across very large scale multi-disciplinary groups. It can do no harm, and it might even improve attitudes towards the management of such projects.
