Linus had no problem with changing his opinion after strong words in the
past :)
But what exactly is the problem with a changing defintion for you. There
is neither a stable kernel nor a formal glibc release with this defined

allocated where it belongs.
Who cares what Linus said in the past as long as Linux development goes
to the right direction?
