I snipped the details.  I simply wanted to note how DFS argues (via
"quotes") versus how Lusotec argues (via concrete demonstration).

And anybody who peruses the linux.kernel newsgroup every day will see dozens
of changes in the Linux kernel every day.

I suppose DFS will also consider Microsoft's efforts to integrate hyper-V
support into Linux a "massive chore" (just like the "media" did), when a
large part of the work was simply Microsoft cleaning up after themselves.
