Neither would I, but who cares?
Politics, lobbying, call it what you like to call it; my suspicion is you
can't understand it with rational thinking. I tried for four years and
gave up (thinking on this issue) with no result. However, coding continues,
and if it is for my personal fun and education only.
This brings one of Linus' latest statements up to my mind: "What Linux-users do
is never wrong." But obviously, if they do the badly needed rewrite of the
console system, and put graphics drivers partly where they belong to given
the Linux architecture as a monolitic kernel OS -- into the Linux-kernel --
they are wrong?? Every computer would have a total crash here -- totally
contadicting information.
I am back coding,
Steffen
PS: my favourite song related to this issue:
If you miss me in the back of the bus,
you'll find me nowhere,
ooohh-ohh-oohh,
come on over to KGI,
I'll be codin' right there...
Sung to the tune of "If you miss me in the back of the bus" performed by
Pete Seeger...
