Just stating something obvious since I don't see it noted here: Linus is a smart guy with this idea of not wanting it to be some niche feature that nobody enables and hence nobody cares about and sees breakage from.
- merb 6y agoI think what he did has nothing to do with smart. it's experience that matters here, he learned such stuff, sometimes even on the hard way.
- asveikau 6y agoThe smarts, I guess, is in recognizing which pieces need this treatment and which do not. Also, he is suggesting this change to experienced people who did not do it that way. So experience is not 100%.
