Take out an old envelope and compute on it the odds of this
happening.

Say we have 10,000 kernel hackers, each producing one
new file every minute, for 100 hours a week.  And we've
cloned a small army of Andrew Morton's to integrate
the resulting tsunamai of patches.  And Linus is well
cared for in the state funny farm.

What is the probability that this check will fire even
once, between now and 10 billion years from now, when
the Sun has become a red giant destroying all life on
planet Earth?
