властелин колец

а вот например читаю я давеча от нечего делать книжку Understanding the Linux Virtual Memory Manager и от следующей цитаты медленно выпадаю в осадок:

Patches are managed through what could be loosely called a set of rings with Linus in the very middle having the final say on what gets accepted into the main tree.Linus,with rare exceptions,accepts patches only from who he refers to as his “lieutenants”, a group of around 10 people who he trusts to “feed” him correct code.

Это же дико очевидно - властелин колец и его 9 верных назгулов !
