   So, nothing of note worth denting this morning from #LFEUS. @gregkh is speaking now, surely he'll say something worth denting w/in minutes.

     @gregkh points out the notion of 2.4.x "enterprise" kernels slowed down development,since !Linux hackers were hired to maintain them. #LFEUS

     @gregkh at #LFEUS: !Linux codebase is "most legally audited codebase ever". IMO exaggeration: most devs don't know what Signed-Off-By means.

     @gregkh says the stable !Linux tree was originally called the "sucker" tree, because only a sucker would be willing to maintain it. #LFEUS

     @bkuhn: Is this going on live now?

     @bkuhn If they don't know what it means, they shouldn't be adding it to their patches. I doubt they are that stupid, it's very easy to read.

     @gregkh, isn't stupidity; often developers are focused on other things & don't realize or RTFM like they should. Problem's maybe better now.

     @diablod3, yes. #LFEUS is today & tomorrow in Jersey City, NJ. Jon Corbet of @lwnnet just took the stage, talking re: !Linux dev process.

     @bkuhn I can vouch that most if not all 802.11 developers know what SOB means, we nag a lot about it and educate proactively.

     @mcgrof, Good news. Obviously things are much better than you & I saw during #ath5k integration work. Problem's solved, maybe? (cc @gregkh)

     @bkuhn licensing will always will be a developer's ignorant bliss. Learning too much information can be a curse though, so slowly but surely

     @bkuhn I hope somebody is recording this
