The mailing list threads she mentions both speak about a fix that creates regression and linus getting angry at it. Which makes me wonder : with that philosophy, i'm pretty sure the linux kernel code is filled with hooks to keep the old behavior in some cases and use the new one in new cases (you sometimes have to break things).
Is there any plan of having a non-backward compatible linux kernel one day, or just to start deprecating features ?
