This article doesn't really justify your point. Reading LKML would
show you the reality. If you actually believe that any one person can
stop kernel regressions, that is remarkably naive and avoiding
regressions at the distribution level is many times more impossible
because of the number of components. We can make reasonable attempts to
avoid them. That's all.
