I don't intend to start a religiuos war here. Just one fact to  prove
you wrong:

Linux 2.4.32 has been released less than 5  months  ago.  That's  not
"several years".

All what had to be said was pointed out by others. No need for me  to
repeat  this  yet  another  time.  And  also I don't waste my time on
people who say: "I didn't read their report, but it looks  they  have
something to sell, so better don't believe a word."

The issues are all well known to anybody who cares.  Some  have  been
addressed  (for  example, the clock tick is now configurable, and the
default is no longer 1000 Hz),  etc..  But  other  issues  (like  the
impact  of  code  size,  or  optimization for big server systems) are
still present.

Best regards,
