And back in January he said he'd be doing it in February. The kernel list FAQ has stated this right at the top, in big, bright red letters. Yesterday, after I saw Dave's announcement, I updated the FAQ to reflect that we're now running ECN. People have had plenty of warning. Think of it as a bonus that it didn't happen back in February. They've had an extra 3 months to sort something out. I note with disgust the number of places which should know better, but still haven't fixed their kit. Most appalling was missionalcriticallinux.com. Shame! Sure, Dave is being bloody-minded, but that's the only way we'll see people get off their fat, lazy asses and fix their broken systems. In fact, hopefully he's still in a dark mood, and he may take up the suggestion to bounce mails of the following type: - MIME encoded - HTML encoded - quoted printables (those stupid "=20" things are particuarly hard to read).
