I have two problems with the article,
1. It's over-inflammatory - what is Phoronix trying to be? The tech-equivalent of The Sun?
2. The bug wasn't reported
As plenty of people have mentioned, this is still the merge window, it's possible that a further merge will rectify the issue. If this was happening at RC1 or 2 then fair enough, but even then "disaster" is way over the top.
Is it really that hard to shoot a mail over the the LKML saying "someone might wanna take a look at this performance regression that our benchmarks picked up"? It's just the right thing to do, especially if your entire business is based on Linux like Phoronix's is.
