From an email from Linus Torvalds to GKH

"Greg just for your information, I will *not* be merging any code from Kay [Sievers] into the kernel until this constant pattern is fixed.

This has been going on for *years*, and doesn't seem to be getting any better. This is relevant to you because I have seen you talk about the kdbus patches, and this is a heads-up that you need to keep them separate from other work. Let distributions merge it as they need to and maybe we can merge it once it has been proven to be stable by whatever distro that was willing to play games with the developers.

But I'm not willing to merge something where the maintainer is known to not care about bugs and regressions and then forces people in other projects to fix their project. Because I am *not* willing to take patches from people who don't clean up after their problems, and don't admit that it's their problem to fix."

    you're free to run Windows or BeOS if you don't agree with Linus the Messiah

    You forgot BSD, which actually works quite well as an alternative as opposed to the other two weird, out of date OSs that you proposed.

    Now, if you would have mentioned Haiku instead of BeOS, then it would be just one weird, out of date OS, but no, you just wanted to play fanboi...
