[$] A "joke" in the glibc manual
A "joke" in the glibc manual-targeting a topic that is, at best,sensitive-has come up for discussion on the glibc-alpha mailing listagain. When we looked at the controversyin May, Richard Stallman had put his foot down and a patch removing thejoke-though opinions of its amusement value vary-was reverted. Shortlyafter that article was published, a "cool down period" wasrequested(and honored), but that time has expired. Other developments inthe GNU project have given some reason to believe that the time is ripe tofinally purge the joke, but that may not work out any better than the lastattempt.
