What matters is that the problem gets solved and that the Linux kernel
innovates forward.
This, I think, is what really really matters in the end.
I've had several cases myself where I spent quite some time solving a
problem, just to get some random remark from someone smart on lkml
saying "if you had done <this simple thing> you would have had <this
simple and superior solution>". Was I pissed off that my patch didn't
get merged but that this better approach got picked? NO! The problem
that I needed to solve got solved in a really good way. Mission
accomplished.
(and merging the code that is cleaning up/smallest is a reasonable one
to pick for someone like Linus, likewise for the "which is likely to be
maintained best" arguments)
Very rational. I would now have to contend that CFS didn't lose and
neither did SD. Linux won.
Thank you very much.
Best Regards,
Carlo
