Those exotic architectures also help iron out generic kernel bugs and give new maintainers an possibility to get their feet wet. > Sad to see fun stuff getting pushed out by basically spam bots. :( It's not so much pushed out by spam bots but by the commercialization of th= e Linux kernel. Many developers think that the sole purpose of the Linux kern= el is to run on modern commodity hardware. Adrian --=20 .''`.
