Linux creator Linus Torvalds expressed frustration over the inclusion of subpar 'hdrtest' code in the Linux 6.15 release. He criticized the code for slowing down builds, leaving unnecessary files, and creating conflicts in the build process. Torvalds suggested that such tests should be run separately and not affect the regular build procedure.

Torvalds Frustrated Over "Disgusting" Testing "Turd" DRM Code Landing In Linux 6.15

Gotta love Linus’ high standards and candid responses. Sometimes is a bit much, but he is usually willing to give people many chances to improve.

Haha. One guy with balls actually. In this whole funny industry.

I’m glad Torvalds still keeps a keen eye out on the build status. And the fact he is open, honest and direct about his point of view. You can’t let quick and sloppy make it’s way into the main build.
