Um, and you need a lesson in Finnish humour, Jacob. That one is most
likely an actual quote, relating to one of the development kernels
getting released in a bit of a hurry. Cf:
<<I made a 2.1.97 release, in order to synch up with some large
patch-sets I've gotten (non-x86 architecture updates). But due to the
new baby this really hasn't been through my usual exhaustive
stress-test ("make bzImage" + "boot") so buyer beware.
Linus>>
Besides, it's his personal testing he's referring to. Not the
thousands of dedicated hackers testing and fixing things afterwards.
