I completely agree.
Such is the art of fine programming.
My basic concern was that Linus was trying to put lipstick
on a pig.
If one gets the underlying structure right, then one should
package it in the best way one can, such as you and Linus
describe.
If one has a hack, better to leave it naked to the world,
with a minimum of artiface.
That way it attracts attention from those who know better
and are repulsed. And that way, when something better
comes along, it will be easy to remove the simple hack.
It looks like Roman is on my case. This is good.
(Of course, if you have a barn full of hogs, maybe
it's time to paint the barn ;).
