Yeah, that Ingo dude is really impossible to work with (as are most kernel maintainers)! I've personally been so unfortunate that I've never had any problems but it must be my bad attitude to working with other people and actually listening to them. :-( On Fri, Apr 29, 2011 at 8:46 PM, Vince Weaver wrote: > The kernel I run is "Linux" not "Ingoix". ?So I await a comment from Linus > on this issue. ?If it turns out that he's happy with Ingo's work, fine. > It just means I'll have to start maintaining some perf counter related > patches out of tree for those of us who actually like having control on > what we're measuring. Well, it's not Ingoix but Ingo gets to maintain your ABI long after you're gone while Linus can just sit back, relax, and have a drink. So I think it'd be fair to at least _pretend_ you care what Ingo thinks about perf ABIs, no?
