Linux v3.0... 再等等 - Linux

From Linus' google+ message two hours ago,

Linus Torvalds

Why do we always find the subtle bugs just before a release?

Looks like I won't be releasing 3.0 today, just because Hugh found this
incredibly subtle pathname lookup bug. We have a patch, we understand the
problem, and it looks ObviouslyCorrect(tm), but I don't think I want to
release 3.0 just a couple of hours after applying it.

Of course, the bug is so hard to see that Hugh needs weeks to reproduce it
even with his stress test, so we could just ignore it and backport the fix
later. But I really hate making releases with known issues even if it's
almost certainly a "nobody will ever hit this in practice" issue.

Oh well.
