Rather than blame the Linux patch process & iteration for obfuscating, I kind of want to throw the shade & nastiness at Microsoft for iterating security posture & requirements in a subtle way over time where it wasn't clear up front why Linux would need to leap through Gates' hoop of fire here.
If it were crystal clear what the need being satisfied were, these patches would probably explain themselves.
