You also don't have to be a guru to notice that recently most of the
content of the rewrite is moving code here and there, unfolding functions,
renaming them and changing intendation. Check yourself.
Also imagine how hard is now to track changes from 2.4 to 2.5
now and fix bugs.
Yup, please give me a break from having to track this changes. :-)
If you go through all the ide-clean patches you will see that much
of the cruft has been removed, some things fixed but there is still
plenty of work to do.
Next problem is that Martin seems to not care that his style of
development (pushing stuff immediately to Linus instead of lkml -> some
reasonable delay -> Linus) _constantly_ interferes other people doing
kernel hacking.
I don't want next flamewar or personal bashing here,
please only _think_ for a while about issues raised.
