[ILUG] question of the day...

[ILUG] question of the day...

Somewhere, an entire phrase of mine got lost.  I blame society.

> [2] Obviously, some codebases are more vital to a system and central to
> its function than others.  One used to argue that proprietary X
> servers weren't a major compromise because they ran in userspace.
> Unfortunately, 3D cards have a large kernelspace component, whose bugs
> so polluted LKML threads in recent years that an entire tracking system

...had to be developed...

> to detect and _reject_ reports from users with "tainted" kernelspaces.
> So, want everything you say about bugs to be ignored by the kernel
> people?  Easy, just run the Nvidia drivers.
