From the article:
"
If you've followed Linus Torvalds' postings on the Linux
kernel mailing list (the LKML) for awhile, then you're
aware of the high esteem he has for kernel code written
with "good taste." It seems the highest compliment Linus
ever pays to other kernel hackers is to refer to them as
having "good taste."
"
Good Taste - what does that mean? Is it like pornography,
you know it when you see it?
"
"It's bad from a technical standpoint (anybody who
names a generic device with a flat namespace is just
basically clueless), and it's bad from a usability
standpoint. It has _zero_ redeeming qualities."
...
- I use Solaris where I get the needed features.
"
Like we didn't figure that out.
Just random ramblings.
