Parent article: Who wrote 3.0 - from two points of view

Somewhat amusing, but very enlightening. Thanks for the blog entry. I also found Steve Friedl's technical discussion you linked fun—it's reassuring that the Linux kernel source isn't polluted with DWORDs or HANDLEs or all other types in ALL_CAPS. Phew!

If I understand correctly Steve Friedl's technical discussion, it was only about the 200+ initial patchs to clean the MS driver before entering -staging.
What about the 300+ patchs during this 3.0 cycle? It can't be coding style work because that was done previously. Perhaps he need to write another article and change his previous conclusion.
