... Because the little boy was lying. If there really was a wolf every time he said there was they would consider him a brilliant scout rather than an untrustworthy source of information.

It's strange that it's necessary to explain children's parables on HN.

> The kernel dev space needs less drama and more grown ups.

I don't disagree with that, I just don't agree with saying that Linus is crying wolf. Because you don't appear to understand what it means.
