And I say that without any reservations. He doesn't deserve the ad-hominem attacks he is getting today, because he does resolve every problem reported to him. The guy wrote test cases, he analyzed every problem, he wrote test patches, and he doesn't stop doing any of that until the issue really is reported as resolved by the testers. I'll take Christoph as the implementor and maintainer of anything, any day of the week. He rocks. -- 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/
