Take it more as a joke than seriously... It's a funny and naive document,
isn't it?

OTH, after some "low development weeks", last weeks were very positive in
linux-kernel:
- 2.2 will arrive very soon. 2.0.36 is almost ready (with many many
changes).
- Very big changes (positive ones) from 2.1.125 to incoming 2.1.128 (low
memory, jiffies, tcp, new scsi drivers, etc).
- Seems that many bugs were solved in 2.0.36preXX (SMP, SCSCI, TCP, etc.)
- Linus powertrip and egcc struggles seems to be over.
- Low memory stuff showed some very old bugs in 2.1.xxx (I think we
still have the same bug in 2.0.35 -GMP_USER vs GMP_KERNEL-) that are
already solved in some development trees.
- Very low "off-topic" ratio in linux-kernel and good ideas are starting
to be discussed very seriously with almost no flames (serial modules
redesign, proc interface, real-time queues, etc.).
- And perhaps, the most important thing, Linux hackers are very happy last
days.
