+Closing words
+=============
+
+Compared with other Free/Libre & Open Source Software it's hard to reporting
+issues to the Linux kernel developers: the length and complexity of this
+document and the implications between the lines illustrate that. But that's how
+it is for now. The main author of this text hopes documenting the state of the
+art will lay some groundwork to improve the situation over time.
