Berbalas Pantun Di Milis Kernel Linux

Rusty Russel menulis kode untuk lguest dengan gaya yang unik. Lguest adalah salah satu dari sekian banyak alternatif virtualization untuk Linux.

Patch yang dikirim Rusty Russel dikomentari oleh Andrew Morton:

But I worry that you're proposing adding what appears to be new Documentation-related machinery and infrastructure when there's already increased activity in that area from other people and we might all be headed in different directions and stuff.

So first I think we'd best form a kernel kommittee and mull this for a while (preferably months) to screw you around as much as poss, OK? ;)

There's a reason for that.

There once was a lad from Braidwood
With a wife and a hatred for FUD
He hacked kernels for fun,
couldn't get them to run.
But he always felt that he should.

dan dibalas tanpa rasa takut:

There once was a virtualization coder,
Whose patches kept getting older,
Each time upstream would drop,
His documentation would slightly rot,
SO APPLY MY FUCKING PATCHES OR I'LL KEEP WRITING LIMERICKS.

Thanks!
Rusty.
