Quotes of the week
I do not recommend e-mailing just LKML with no other lists or
people. Sometimes you'll get a response but think of it more as
writing to your blog that has 10 followers you've never met, 7 of
which are bots.

Keep in mind that filesystems are persistent structures that have
lifetimes of tens of years. We have to support users with old
formats, regardless of the unfixable problems they may have. We do
what we can to mitigate those issues for them and encourage users
to upgrade their kernels and on-disk formats, but we can't just
shut off access to the old formats in new kernels because a new
fuzzer found an old problem we've known about for years.
