Can you elaborate on what you mean here? Is this reference to "the cathedral and the bazar?" What is meant by "rather few inertia"? Thanks.
- alacombe 9y agoYes, less inertia. If the Linux folks decides to change a central datastructure, they do it, don't care if anything break with some proprietary module. With the BSD... well, they can't even agree on a modern DCVS, changing any central kernel datastucture is pretty much a lot fight (I tried...). Same logic with risk-averse companies.
