Whats worse, this or kernel dev? 😂

would you mind sharing the reasons for core30? i would love to understand this better. i have read a lot about trusting the experts and i have seen ignorance, but knots usage being at almost 20% and growing - wouldnt that suggest educating the public might help stop this trend?

Dismissing it as manufactured eh? There's about a 45/55 split between Core 29 and Knots 28. Maybe time to reconsider whether pushing through changes people hate and lying about the rationale isn't the best idea?

A surprisingly tone-deaf comment from you, Rusty :/

Imagine being dumb enough to count nodes as if they're not trivially gameable.

That's a hard question. When you got into a nasty dispute in the kernel, it was usually with a peer who was at least credible in their field. This stuff is easier to ignore, but there's more of it.

No, really, this is a distraction. All drama, no content. But being tricked into doing something by a paper tiger is a real category of mistakes. I will ignore it, continue my work unaffected, and the world will slowly improve.
