- Archelaos 10mo agoI prefer improved titles. However, not in this case. It is rather irony, because LWN does not need click-bait.
- goku12 10mo agoThis one is apparently a genuine mistake from the author. But I think we should leave it as it is. The confusion and the argument about it is interesting in itself.
