Re: The only sane thing to do
So the Linux patch validation infrastructure was so bad that a bunch of dippy college students was able to upload bad patches into the kernel.
Yes, what they did was bad, but why has no one called the Linux maintainers onto the carpet? Instead of them looking at their processes and find out what needed to change, they decided to come down on the entire University of Minnesota and punish them.
If this had been Microsoft that had punished the University everyone would be screaming bloody murder.
But apparently the Linux guys are held to the same standard.
