Well yes, there are incidents. We have too many coders and not enough reviewers, testers and bug-fixers. If I had two solid days to sit down and carefully review, test, try-to-exploit and if necessary improve/fix this code then perhaps we'd get there. But I'm nowhere vaguely near being able to afford that time and things are just sitting there. I have an email sitting in my drafts folder stating that I'll no longer accept any features unless they've been publically reviewed in detail and run-time tested by a third party. The idea being to force people to spend more time reviewing and testing each other's stuff and less time writing new stuff. Maybe on a sufficiently gloomy day I'll actually send it. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
