On: Linux 3.5 Kernel Released

[chris_wot]

I wouldn't say it's "bloated", more featureful! In fact, I believe the kernel developers routinely cull old and crufty code.

The features that are in the Linux kernel are used by all sorts of folks. And there is a constant review of developers refactoring and debating how to merge features. And they never seem to merge features unless it is being done right from a technical viewpoint!

For example econet and token ring were purged from 3.5. So in some ways this is the most unbloated linux kernel in some time.
