Then the grumble gets posted to Slashdot, then from there to MSNBC,
where it's reported as "college kids ruin Linux", and my Red Hat
shares go down again. :-( :-)
Actually, there is a procedure to declare sources obsolete, basically
a two-stage process of marking them as dead, then deleting in the
next release - just in case it's not as dead as we thought... I
know I wrote the procedure down somewhere, but I don't see it anywhere
in the sources - perhaps I just described in a posting. Anyway,
you can look at the gould or tahoe sources to see what happens.
