  Why is this supposed to be interesting still after 22 years? To clarify: many people know about Tanenbaum's views only because of a discussion which occurred between Tanenbaum and Torvalds. Bringing up Tanenbaum, given the success of Linux, often appears to me as a proxy for laughing at a person for being wrong, or as a sideways snub at "ivory tower"/"academic" thinking, rather than provide anything meaningfully new. Bringing this up again, without any context, seems like beating a dead horse for the fun of it.
