Would you prefer the exact wording from the mailing list, "a bunch of bug fixes"? Yes, the first sentence is confusing, but I still consider phoronix to be quite valuable. They always link to the original source, which is more than what many news sites do.

The mailing list [1] contains much more than "a bunch of bug fixes," arguably more than what the Phoronix link provides. >They always link to the original source, which is more than what many news sites do. I don't find this to always be the case with Phoronix, as well as when referencing previous news they do a self link to their other posts rather than straight to the original source. Besides, is it not Hackernews guidelines [2] to "submit the original source?" How does Phoronix get away without being changed to the the right URL so often?
