You should not. But there is no place where a non-flawed version of the process is implemented. So you pick whichever you consider better and move on with your life.

No, I hate Greg and all those other "peace, love and open sores" hippie idiots who are surely turning it into cancer.

I know bd139 will say it's always been cancer, but I used to be younger so maybe I just didn't see it :-DD

There is nothing wrong with missing it. Admitting to intentionally submitting a buggy code and writing an article about is wrong.

At the time of that response it was not known what patches were intentionally buggy and what not. All the non-intentionally buggy patches will be returned to the code.

Those dudes were always a joke. I come from a commercial Unix background (Sun) and there’s two types of Unix hippies:

1. The traditional bell labs guys. Those guys were engineers through and through despite the lore.
2. The rest.

The rest are the vocal majority.

If you look at the remaining old school engineers they tend to be working on Go and using macs at Google. YMMV but inside with strong engineering not conspicuous moral values.

This is why I’ve got a commercial Unix machine on my wrist and in my pocket…
