H? David,
Yes, it's a well known story about the "fuck" word on the kernel - people
were very frustrated while developing the kernel for various platforms
(specially Sparc 64) and they added this "fuck" thing (you'll find it mostly
there). Linus refuse to accept any patch that will clear this - and he's
right - it's people work, free expression ;)
