I must be misinterpreting what you are saying. I believed you meant that Lennart
is able to push "random crap" into userland, whereas he is not capable of doing
so for the Kernel.  My counter-point was to indicate that the gateway to userland
was the distributions, and Lennart's userland contributions don't reach the users
without review from other human beings.

Which part did I get wrong?
