I meant mad, not bad.
Fucking nerds.

Stop right there.
This is *not* about some arbitrary "30-year backwards compatibility".
This is about your patch BREAKING EXISTING BINARIES.
So stop the f*&^ing around already. The patch was shown to be broken,
stop making excuses, and stop blathering.
End of story. Binary compatibility is more important than *any* of
your patches. If you continue to argue anything else or making
excuses, I'm going to ask people to just ignore your patches entirely.
Seriously. Binary compatibility is *so* important that I do not want
to have anything to do with kernel developers who don't understand
that importance. If you continue to pooh-pooh the issue, you only show
yourself to be unreliable. Don't do it.
Dammit, I'm continually surprised by the *idiots* out there that don't
understand that binary compatibility is one of the absolute top
priorities. The *only* reason for an OS kernel existing in the first
place is to serve user-space. The kernel has no relevance on its own.
Breaking existing binaries - and then not acknowledging how horribly
bad that was - is just about the *worst* offense any kernel developer
can do.
Because that shows that they don't understand what the whole *point*
of the kernel was after all. We're not masturbating around with some
research project. We never were. Even when Linux was young, the whole
and only point was to make a *usable* system. It's why it's not some
crazy drug-induced microkernel or other random crazy thing.
Really.

What the hell do you want?! Can't you just fuck off already? I came here asking for help and you give me nothing but bullshit, irrelevant, worthless replies. Just count your blessings that I'm not an admin, or else you and your posts would be gone in a fucking heartbeat.
But he's fucking right. I fail to see the problem.
Linus is alpha as fuck.
