I think Linus and the media hav missed the point that all these
stories are about Linux because that was the 2012 issue which was so
obvious that nobody could avoid talking about it.  NTP and the NTP
pool are more robust too, so that will be better.  But there were
other problems that nobody has talked about openly, and nothing in the
current versions of the Linux kernel is going to fix those.
