At LinuxCon Europe/ELCE I had the chance to moderate the kernel hackers panel with Linus Torvalds, Alan Cox, Paul McKenney and Thomas Gleixner on stage. I like to believe it went quite well, but check it out for yourself, as a video recording is now available online:

For me personally I think the most notable topic covered was Control Groups, and the clarification that they are something that is needed even though their implementation right now is in many ways less than perfect. But in the end there is no reasonable way around it, and much like SMP, technology that complicates things substantially but is ultimately unavoidable.

Other videos from ELCE are online now, too.
