when I'm talking to journalists I just say "programmer" or something like that.

Hi Geert,

Thanks for these reports!

Yeah, as Scott said, these are not worth reporting.  However, they are
being worked on in various ways, but will probably not be solved very
soon (it means we have to change how we link the kernel and that will
probably require some discussion).

I just keep the powerpc allyesconfig build there to catch other stuff
(like drivers that assume too much).
