"none other than Linus Torvalds, the father of Linux"

When has anyone else announced a new mainline kernel?

But if he's the father, who's the mother.... and does his wife know?

There was no mother.

a Motherless child.

Its probably very spoiled, as the father tries to make his child stop crying and give it anything it wants.

Yes, I'm getting the grievous error.

Story of my life: one grievous error after another.
