<flame suit on> As far as I can tell, the most egregious thing he's responsible for is for wanting a well-designed system that works! Face it, linux is a hodge-podge of things thrown together, and held together with baling wire and sealing wax. Lennart doesn't want a system where a small failure in one place cascades and brings down a load of stuff elsewhere. Granted he's not necessarily the most politic of people, and has ruffled a lot of feathers, but I'd much rather a system he's cleaned up, than a system where everything hangs together on a knife-edge.
