Speaking of single-handedly destroying the open source movement, <G>,
check out the summary of last week's linux-kernel mailing list over here:
http://kt.zork.net/kernel-traffic/latest.html (Jan 7)
Talk about acrimony -- and that's between the core developers -- Rik van
Riel wrote the (old) VM, Al Viro is active in the virtual file system
layer, Andre' is the [lone] open source representative on the ATA
standards definition committee, and then of course there's Linus.
Some juicy quotes:
Which, btw, explains why I don't consider you a kernel maintainer, Rik,
and I don't tend to apply any patches at all from you.
-- Linus
[Linus,] please pass your crack pipe arounds so the rest of us idiots
can see your vision or lack of .. -- Andre' Hendrick
[to Andre']: I've long since noticed that we cannot communicate...If you
have patches, please talk to Jens, tell him what the issues are, and I
know I can communicate with him. -- Linus
And there was lots of complaining about the lack of "quality" of the
posts on lkml.
It ain't just cygwin@. And it ain't just cgf.
