Alan Cox Exits Intel, Linux Development

judgecorp writes "Linux kernel developer Alan Cox has left Intel and Linux development after slamming the Fedora 18 distribution. He made the announcement on Google+ and promised that he had not fallen out with Linus Torvalds, and would finish up all outstanding work." Also at Live Mint, which calls Cox's resignation notice a "welcome change from the sterility, plain dishonesty of CEO departure statements." Cox says in that statement that he's leaving "for a bit," and "I may be back at some point in the future - who knows."

    "I know this is not a popular sentiment on /. (to say the least). But, what the fuck. I've got some extra karma to burn."

    Just don't burn your intellectual capacity or reading comprehension, both of which are clearly in short supply.
