Guys, this is simply *amazing*! I'm in constant awe at the quality and volume of the patches that I've seen lately, to speak nothing of the difficulty behind them.
Just yesterday I happened to came across this paragraph from the book Open Sources (from the chapter written by Linus Torvalds), from 1999:
But the most exciting developments for Linux will happen in user space, not kernel space. The changes in the kernel will seem small compared to what's happening further out in the system. From this perspective, where the Linux kernel will be isn't as interesting a question as what features will be in Red Hat 17.5 or where Wine (the Windows emulator) is going to be in a few years.
It's a few years later now. Wine hasn't reached 1.0 yet, but Red Hat hasn't reached 17.5 either ;-)
