Linux v3.0... 再等等 - Linux

Why do we always find the subtle bugs just before a release?
魔鬼總藏在細節裡，我們總是在釋出前出毛病。

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.
3.0版應該不會釋出了。修發現了錯誤，這還是搜尋路徑的小瑕疵！我們知道問題
明顯存在並且確定會發行修正補丁，但我還不想這樣做，一切都太急太快了。


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.
就算是個小錯誤，修還是得花上幾禮拜的時間作壓力測試, 所以現下請稍作等待，
我們會反向修正這個問題。但是說真的，就算是"沒人會在意"的問題，我還是討厭
我們的發行出紕漏。


Oh well.
喔偎～
