Story: The ups and downs of life with Linus

Anyone who was actually at the conference would realise that this article is 100% accurate.

Cox made a speech about the challenges of maintaining a stable kernel that was both honest and pragmatic. He is clearly not an anit-Linux (or anti-Linus) campaigner, but this doesn't mean he should not be candid about the limitations and weaknesses of the current development model. An open debate is essential to facilitate further progress - both Mr Cox (and ZDNet) are right to shed light on such issues.

There are many people in the Linux community whose almost religious devotion to the product and it's creator would do well to listen more carefully to what Mr Cox has to say.
