In the kernel incident discussed above, the code was never commited to the source tree. it was "checked-in" on a CVS snapshot server which is never used for commiting code into the real source tree and should never be used to build binary kernels. IMO, this incident proves that the kernel development model of Linux stands up to the test, the OSS model stands up to the test, Larry Mcvoy stands up to the test, BitKeeper stands up to the test, and CVS sucks nuts (not that it was a big surprise :-).
