    Phoronix: Linux 3.14-rc3 Should Have "All The Scary Stuff" Fixed

    "Shuffling Zombie Juror"? I was hoping 3.14 would have been "Pi". Or "Half-Tau". But maybe that's for 3.14.15...

      I realize that as a number, 3.14 looks familiar to people, and I had
      naming requests related to that. But that's simply not how the
      nonsense kernel names work. You can console yourself with the fact
      that the name doesn't actually show up anywhere, and nobody really
      cares. So any pi-related name you make up will be *quite* as relevant
      as the one in the main Makefile, so don't get depressed.

      Besides, any self-respecting geek will know pi to twenty decimal
      places from their dorky youth, so 3.14 isn't really *that* close, is
      it?

        Literally the name only appears in I think two places.

        1) The git logs
        2) The make file / KConfig file has a place to set the major minor and patch version as well as the listed name

        And I truly can't think of any where else in the entire freaking Kernel the name gets mentioned.
        All opinions are my own not those of my employer if you know who they are.

          Rc3 probably won't work with nVidia cards below nv50 with nouveau. So be careful, bug is here.

                  Is Linus ever going to invent a codename that can be stated in conversation without confusing everyone?

                    No HDMI audio on Radeon 7660D (A10-5800K Trinity APU) with stable 3.14. Silly!
