    ... you're going to switch to a different kernel just because people will be able to compile Linux with anything other than GCC?

    Why? I love the Free Software Foundation and the GPL, but there's nothing wrong with having the Linux kernel buildable by more than one C compiler.

    What's wrong with Clang?

    The bufferbloat thing is wrong. It's already in there for 4.10. The only thing missing is airtime fairness, which is ath9k specific and coming in 4.11

    Also looking forward to the anti-bufferbloat work in the future.


    Michael, about the site - a while ago you decided to allow anyone to use https:// to navigate around it. It's extremely welcome. The problem is, the 'Phoronix.com' links (e.g. near the top next to 'Forums') default to http and make it redundant unless you're using an addon like 'https everywhere' which forces https if the page exists/allows for it.
    You're on https until you click a link or two and then you won't realise unless you're looking out for it, and as a result it's like it's only half implemented.
    Could you tweak the links around the site to all remain on https, please? Cheers


    It could just be https only. More and more sites do it. And there are about 0 currently supported web browsers that don't support it.

    I'll be curious to see what impact, if any, comes of the BufferBloat wifi improvements. I tried to read some of the more technical discussions of the work being done. But for anything more sophisticated than "it makes wifi faster", the details were too much for me.
