Because I have huge respect for Linus' leadership. I've met a lot of talented people in my life, people who were good engineers, good architects, and good managers. Linus is _all_ of those and that, in my opinion, is unique. BitKeeper exists because I believe that Linus is unique and BK is my way of helping him be productive and continue to be the leader of the Linux effort. I don't know if you get it, you could go a lifetime and not meet someone like Linus. Don't get me wrong, we've had screaming matches, I remember one where I was yelling "I just want you to work for me so I can fire your sorry ass", it's not like I worship the ground he walks on or anything. But I do respect, deeply respect, what he has done. I've demonstrated here that I don't have what it takes to do his job. You have too. So have others. If we really care about the good of the world then we help in the way that helps the most. That's what I'm doing. -- --- Larry McVoy lm at bitmover.com http://www.bitmover.com/lm - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
