Max Mehl

Can we all agree it's time for one of those famous encompassing articles to summarise the current state of the election mess?

*cough* @corbet *cough*

@mxmehl It's written, going through review, no worries :)

@corbet Whoop, faster than I even hoped for, thanks!

I had no idea that all we needed was @mxmehl to wave the proverbial magic wand 🪄 of Max's mastodon account and command @corbet and company to write an article:

There you go, ask and you shall receive:

lwn.net/SubscriberLink/1014603

lwn.netOSI election ends with unsatisfying results [LWN.net]
@bkuhn @mxmehl That wasn't me who wrote that — credit goes to @jzb, who had been working on it for a while before anybody waved their wand :)

I will confess that I'd been slow to come around to the topic at least partly because it has been a decade or two since I felt I understood why the OSI still exists.
