I honestly don't undestand how this myth got started, Dave.
From my point of view, I have been busting my ass trying to *extract* requirements from Linus and other people with a stake. What guidance I get is vague and contradictory. My proposals to address it get ignored. Everything I do right gets written off and teensy side issues get inflated into monsters.
It's utterly maddening to hear people accuse me of not listening when I spend so damn much effort trying to do what they want for so little reward... -- <a href="http://www.tuxedo.org/~esr/">Eric S.
