Linus Torvalds originaly said:

"All of this is pure garbage. Is Intel really planning on making this shit architectural? Has anybody talked to them and told them they are f*cking insane? Please, any Intel engineers here - talk to your managers."

David Woodhouse replied with:

If the alternative was a two-decade product recall and giving everyone free CPUs, I'm not sure it was entirely insane."

The rest is written by Linus, with all further quoted segments being something David Woodhouse wrote.

> "the user interface is horrendous"

The user interface is perfectly clear if you know how to read it.
