That's how it seems to me.Based on reading El Reg's account of it all. From what I can tell Tridgel has done exactly the sort of thing with BitKeeper that he did with Samba. With Samba everyone praised him, and with BitKeeper everyone praises him apart from Linus, who's mates with the BitKeeper author. Bruce Perens has told Linus that he's being hypocritical and to cool it, and I suspect that it'll blow over soon.

That's pretty much the story.BitKeeper's not an appropriate system for the project anyway given GNU's pride in software self-sufficiency. Then again, Linux might be obsolete to the GNU project as early as 2053 when they have a feature complete Hurd :)

Well, there's a Debian/Hurd testing build at the moment.That could be stable as early as 2070 ;)

Samba's unix extensionsmake NFS pretty much redundant. No need to run RPC either, so SMB turns out to be more secure in this case... Fucking weird :)
