With due regard to Alan, repeating the BS does not make it true. Eric is in
fact very wellknown in the kernel world, just not as a kernel hacker. I'm
perfectly content with his level of contribution, I think he's more than
earned the right to spout.

And by the way, the wait for CML2+kbuild 2.5 is painful, I detest the old
creaking cruft so much, I feel like I got something on me every time I change
an option. It hates me too, and retaliates by breaking itself in as many
creative ways as it can.
