Nah, it's become too painful for me to contribute to glibc. The
consensus rules are too bureaucratic, weakly defined, and not applied
uniformly for me to feel confident of being allowed to install patches
under the rules. This is not about this year's episode, BTW. It was
one of the primary reasons why I moved back to GCC, where the rules of
patch reviewing and acceptance make a lot more sense to me.
But anyone should feel free to turn the above into a patch for the
manual. Or this:
if rms rules: we fork()
else: we knife him
truth: there's no spoon
