> "Unfixably broken" Even *before* it was removed, it declared itself "broken on SMP" (which is a good hint on exactly *why* it was unfixable), and why it's not applicable to most modern desktop systems anyhow - even an iPad is a dual-core. And to be honest, the "Linux only cares about big iron not the desktop" is a total red herring - if anything, many laptops *are* essentially a single-user environment, while big iron boxes are even *more* concerned about per-user issues. I just checked one of the compute clusters across the hall, 1100+ actual users defined. How often do desktops/laptops have that many real live users?
