Quotes of the week

My great act of protest? Disabling Twitter forwarding to my Facebook status. Ha! Take that, enormous corporation!

Anyway, Andrew Morton was right, we should have merged into mainline as soon as Tux3 was booting as root. That would have taken a big load off me. Instead, somebody posted to LKML and called for atomic commit as a precondition for merging. Sounds like a good idea, sounds logical. But actually, in open source it is counter productive, it just puts a bigger load on me, a limited resource. We should have merged first, then got the logging and replay working. In fact, we probably should still do that. I will say this now: if we are invited to merge in the next major release, or in -mm or whatever, we will happily do it. If we are not invited to merge, nobody has any cause to complain about progress slowing down.
