...  And here's the latest.  The debate is STILL raging!

That's the weekly kernel page "In brief".  In particular, you'll note the 
O_PONIES section, and two of the three comment threads below the article, 
O_PONIES and O_TSO_ME_HARDER.

(FWIW I broke off reading this week's kernel page in ordered to write 
this, then came and found your reply and replied to it, forgetting 
entirely about this in the process.  Then when I got back to the kernel 
page, I remembered that I'd left in ordered to post this update, and 
hadn't...)
