I cannot speak for your specific case, but I know that Linus definitely did |
| 12 |
break the SCSI generic pass through interface in Linux several times and one |
| 13 |
time this was done while integrating his personal code. |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
At that time it turned out, that Linus does not seem to be able to understand |
| 16 |
what changes may break an interface. The real problem however was that he was |
| 17 |
not willing to fix his fault, so we can definitely call this case (from Spring |
| 18 |
2004) a break by intention. |
