Quote of the week

To illustrate my personal concerns, I confess to being a bit disgusted by those pontificating on software reliability, especially when they compare it unfavorably to things like house construction. The difference is of course that the average house is not under active attack by nation states. In contrast, whether we like it or not, the Linux kernel is under active attack by nation states, organized crime, and who knows what all else. For RCU at least, I will take all the help I can get, even if it requires me to do a little bit of work up front.
