Wait a minute, what does that make me if I buy your books, then?? And
when is that NetBSD book going to hit?? :)

I hope he does comment on it, I'll be watching for it. I know the guy
has written some pretty thought provoking stuff, but I don't have any
opinion of him other than that. I know he's well known, and words like
this coming from well known people is usually (note I didn't say
always) a good thing.

I tend to be highly suspect of news sources in any form, so I'd really
like to see something corroborating this. A comment about it from ESR
himself would be the best for this.
