好久没浏览KernelTrap.org，输入URL都有些内疚。先看到Jeremy Andrews的申明，说他九月份不会更新了，因为要搬家。然后看到一篇Linux: 2.6.16.y Lives On，开头全是历史知识普及（懒，不翻译了）：
“The Linux kernel development model changed a couple of years ago at the 2004 Kernel Summit [story]. At that time it was decided that as a team Linus Torvalds and Andrew Morton [interview] were doing a great job together maintaining the 2.6 kernel, using Andrew’s -mm kernel as a staging area with new features being allowed into the mainline kernel and ultimate stabilization left up to Linux distributions. In March of 2005, Greg KH and Chris Wright began maintaining a -stable patchset [story], accepting small, focused patches fixing real bugs or security issues……”
这么多久违的人名和补丁包，有点激动。脑子里过电影，都是本科时代的情节：天天关注lkml和-mm更新；逃课去听AKA的内核分析；飞到深圳打工，往盒子里移植linux内核，宿舍的哥们帮我应付点名和作业；超崇拜Robert Love……
刚听说Andrew Morton去Google了，一晃我的joyfire.net也三年没维护了，晕。这次pFind集群版的是个好机会，可以借此重新熟悉Linux开发。
