Linux Kernel Switching To Linux v4.0, Coming With Many New Addons

An anonymous reader writes Following polling on Linus Torvald's Google+ page, he's decided to make the next kernel version Linux 4.0 rather than Linux 3.20. Linux 4.0 is going to bring many big improvements besides the version bump with there being live kernel patching, pNFS block server support, VirtIO 1.0, IBM z13 mainframe support, new ARM SoC support, and many new hardware drivers and general improvements. Linux 4.0 is codenamed "Hurr durr I'ma sheep."

    No, it's the kernel. systemd is a crap load of applications. Applications that ignore stderr, drop higher priority syslog messages, and ignores nonzero exit statuses.

    What the fuck is up with you trolls repeating these stupid lies?

    systemd may or may not have problems, but it demonstrably does not "ignore stderr, drop higher priority syslog messages, [or] ignore nonzero exit statuses".

    If it does, or ever has done, any of these things where is the fucking bug report.

    Even if those "technical arguments" are lies?

    Seriously -- there are no reliable reports of systemd doing what these anonymous trolls report it as doing.

    One of the advances of systemd is that it does log stderr from processes it starts, so some clown has decided to complain that it doesn't.

    There are no reliable reports of this behaviour -- it's all a bunch of AC posts on Slashdot plus one on Reddit (which was immediatley refuted), plus a few paranoid claims about bug reports being "deleted". How do you delete a bug report from bugzilla? You can't.

    Most Unix stuff doesn't follow the Unix "way of doing things"...
