* Bleah. I'm going to stop committing these trivial changes - everyone * jumps all over them with far more enthusiasm than they ever exhibit * for the truly broken stuff, and it's more than a little annoying to * spend 3 days debating something minor only to have everyone go * completely silent when I try to get any help on something _majorly_ * hosed! :-( You don't sound like yourself, Jordan. I thought you already knew what a thankless job the "president" is! :> Anyway, people are jumping all over it is because it was NOT broken for some people (at least there was an easy work-around), and your commit moved the problem. Which made the default behavior (when you don't pay much attention to ordering of ttys) more desirable for others while the work-around went away. If you take away a behavior in the system that some people like, you can expect them to scream. :) Oh, and the reason why more people comment on this than the NFS locking -- maybe because it's easier to understand?
