[News] Torvalds on Kernel Bugs: Overplayed in Press

,----[ Quote ]
| The story was first reported in a ZDNet UK story last Friday, then
| inflated by its Slashdot coverage. Morton was quoted as saying in his
| keynote at LinuxTag that "I believe the 2.6 kernel is slowly getting
| buggier. It seems we're adding bugs at a higher rate than we're fixing
| them." He also said, "Kernel developers will need to reapportion their
| time and spend more time fixing bugs. We may possibly have a
| bug-fix-only kernel cycle, which is purely for fixing up long-standing
| bugs."
| 
| Since the reports made it sound as if Morton is now the man making command
| decisions about the Linux kernel, and that the kernel is now in desperate
| straits, we checked with Torvalds to see what was what on both those
| issues.
