Gut, er überteibt etwas. Zugegeben. Er ist aber nicht alleine.
Schau einmal, was Greg Kroah-Hartmann über die Geschichte des von ihm betreuten Kernels 2.6.32 geschrieben hat:
http://www.kroah.com/log/linux/2.6.32-stable.html
Da steht doch glatt:
"Thanks
I would personally like to thank the Debian kernel developers, specifically Ben Hutchings, Maximilian Attems, Dann Frazier, Bastian Blank, and Moritz Muehlenhoff. They went above and beyond what any "normal" developer would have done, ferreting patches out of the kernel.org releases and the different vendor kernels and bug tracking systems, backporting them to the 2.6.32 kernel, testing, and then forwarding them on to me. Their dedication to their user community is amazing for such a "volunteer" group of developers.
I firmly believe that without their help, the 2.6.32 kernel would not have been the success that it was. The users of Red Hat and SuSE products owe them a great debt.
Buy them a beer the next time you see them, they more than deserve it."
Das geht jedem Debian-Fan runter wie Öl.
Debian Lenny 5.0.10 nach dem EOL-Zeitpunkt noch herauszubringen, geht irgendwie in die gleiche Richtung. Ein sehr würdiger Abschluss für eine gute Distro.
