Consider this. If this was closed development we wouldn't even know about this issue until it was fixed ( or until there was some sort of beta that worked ). Actually ... we wouldn't even know about this issue and probably told there isn't an issue and that it's our problem. Or maybe it'll be fixed in the next release -- maybe. :-) Just a friendly reminder that the normal rules don't apply here. * Even though I don't really know what the normal rules would be in this situation * sim Matt Waters wrote: > Although I know precisely jack dick about how linux's disk drivers work, > what Linus is saying does make sense.
