IBM's ThinkPad-Linux support project being dropped

Ok, perhaps. But how hard is it to say "pick one, any one, and go with it". 
It's a Jihad because people make it so, not because of some compelling 
technical reason. Let's just settle it by making a new directory called 
/jihad and put everything there. Arguing "tastes great" "less filling" gets 
us nowhere.

Or am I missing something?
