...also, I was bumped onto a mail, where Linus was explaining it to Steve Fench about the whole story...fascinating ....from time to time Linus wrote loooong response to someone about some particular topic ...that mail is one of them ...if anyone curious enough to find it out, please read that response and explanations too.

I certainly did learn about that topic by going over his response a few times.
