Quote of the week

I think that we're parsing the words "stable kernel" differently. You see "stable kernel" as a kernel that remains mostly the same over time and accepts a very small amount of critical fixes.

On the other hand, my expectation of a "stable kernel" is a kernel without known bugs. I associate the word "stable" with stable runtime rather than a stable codebase.
