That said, its important not to claim something about a patch which doesn't match the common definitions. Ingo has been very careful in the claims he's made, but I think a lot of people have read his posts too quickly and misinterpreted what he's claiming for the current patch. This includes people on both sides of the fence. He's also been silent for much of this discussion as its gotten out of hand, showing he's clearly wiser than all of us.


I have never been in any doubt as to the specific claims I have
made. I continually have been talking about hard realtime from
start to finish, and it appears that everyone now agrees with me
that for hard-RT, a nanokernel solution is better or at least
not obviously worse at this stage.

Ingo actually of course has been completely rational and honest
the whole time - he actually emailed me to basically say "there
will be pros and cons of both, and until things develop further
I'm not completely sure".

Which I was pretty satisfied with. Then along came the lynch mob.
