What on Earth do you mean by that? Are you claiming that I
made up Blue Hat? Or do you refer to the fact that they
no longer market it? (A quick Google didn't turn anything up.)

If the former, then I find that offensive.

Umm, I don't understand what the clause "to do randomly" means.

In any case, a unified approach to driver interface is certainly
possible, and does not stifle kernel development. The fact that
Linus has so far chosen not to do such a thing is not to anyone's
credit.
