Now I know why the kernel stays broken for so long.
Some people don't want to admit their errors and fix the issues.
Or at least explain them so that someone else can fix it for them.
I hope you work on something really important!

Come back when you figure it out then.  I really don't have time to
explain it at the moment, perhaps someone else can.
