Good job linking to a subscription-only article, without using a link that makes it available for non-subscriber list readers to read.[1] At least the list comment is free to be viewed. =:^) Judging by the fact that it has no replies, were I to guess, I'd guess it fell thru the cracks. Sometimes there's patches for reports without replies to the original thread, but while I don't follow patches in minute detail I normally follow them well enough to have an idea where things are going, and I've seen no patch comments referencing that post. --- [1] FWIW, I'd love to subscribe to LWN, and actually did for awhile even tho I didn't always have time to read it as I believe it provides a useful service to the community, until my conscience started kicking me too badly, since LWN has long had a promise to open up its sources, but AFAIK it has yet to be done, when meanwhile, much of the code LWN used to criticize as proprietary, has in fact opened up. Too bad for the community too, as what could be a huge beacon of free software is belying its own message, talking the talk real well but failing to walk the walk. Meanwhile, while I'll visit sites that aren't open, I don't buy subscriptions to them lest my conscience start kicking me again, so subscription is out of the question, and I must wait until the article goes free or until someone provides a non-subscriber link to read the otherwise subscriber-only content. But just to clarify, I believe people's conscience is their own business, so I'm not suggesting that anyone else need do that, unless their own conscience leads them to do so, of course. -- Duncan - List replies preferred.
