I don’t care about you. - Linus Torvalds

2.6.<odd>: still a stable kernel, but accept bigger changes leading up to it (timeframe: a month or two).

Your problem has nothing to do with git, and everything to do with emacs. And then you have the gall to talk about "Unix design" and not gumming programs together, when you yourself use the most gummed-up piece of absolute sh*t there is!

Obsessing about things is important, and things really do matter, but if you can't let go of them, you'll end up crazy.
