Linus,

A reasonable explanation. However, this begs the question as to
**WHY** you are so opposed to kernel debuggers in Linux. Code
reviews don't catch hardware bugs or other types of performance
issues related to bus architecture, etc.

Opposition to a kernel debugger in Linux, at least from the
view of some folks, is a case of someone using inferior methods
because of ideaology.

Not meant as a recrimination, but you've just made the case for
kernel debuggers in Linux.

:-)
