[Tfug] Alan Cox: "I've had enough"

[Eric Gearhart]

Maybe this discussion will carry over to the happy hour tonight....
has anyone seen/heard about the Alan Cox "screw it I'm leaving"
debacle?

"After a stern criticism from Linus, the long-time kernel hacker Alan
Cox has decided to walk away as the maintainer of the TTY subsystem of
the Linux Kernel, stating '...I've had enough. If you think that
problem is easy to fix you fix it. Have fun. I've zapped the tty merge
queue so anyone with patches for the tty layer can send them to the
new maintainer.'"

Reading over the thread (
http://groups.google.com/group/fa.linux.kernel/browse_frm/thread/3c86e046663e163e/65ee5a5b49b5a596?tvc=1&pli=1
), it strikes me that Linus tends to take the verbal abuse a bit far
IMO...
