- winter_blue 13y agoNot to mention, it was for a very similar reason that Linus exploded on Alan -- kernel changes breaking user space applications. Honestly though, looking at the discussion, I have to admit that some of these userland apps did do wildly ridiculous stuff that sorta almost relied on certain kernel "flaws" -- so IMO they deserve to be broken (perhaps?)
