There goes Novell's score in the next release of the LWN kernel contribution stats.

Congratulations, Greg, and enjoy the new job.

Greg KH is not one person. Not possible, he does too much work. I won't be fooled. There must be numerous, so it is totally plausible that one of them stays at Suse/Novell/Attachmate, maybe even one each.

Anyways, congrats!

Yeah. He once replied to my post on Gentoo Forums, at the time I did not know who the "gregkh" fella is :)

For sure! This "Greg Kroah-Hartman" "guy" is like that "PJ" "gal" over at Groklaw. No single person can do that much work.

I wish the very best to Greg K-H. He manages to do a remarkable amount of work that helps us all.

I agree that he does too much to be just one ordinary person, but I had always assumed he has a time-turner.

He does. Those periods when no stable kernels come out? He's just got hit with a DO NOT MESS WITH TIME exception and had to wait until he got past the paradox window and could try again.

Meh, we'll miss him, and not just for the stats :(

He is a great guy who does instead of talks. He has promised to stay around in openSUSE and I'm really glad he said that.
