2 |
from unknown sources, he has his liutennants and every single patch |
3 |
and change must be reviewed by at least two other maintainers below |
4 |
Linus. |

After all, Linux does not belong to Linus and his branch is by |
6 |
definition of distributed system no better than yours. |
7 |
Exception being is that he generally makes right decisions and can be |
8 |
reason with. |

It would be much simpler to push _good_ feature into kernel than into |
10 |
gentoo [imho]. |

@systemd: |
13 |
I liked it in it's early stages but every month code gets more and |
14 |
more bloated and for (to me) unknown reason it's slowing on my machine |
15 |
every new version. It also did not deliver on promise of stability as |
16 |
early scripts I wrote don't work with latest version. |
