OTOH, I read about a developer who quit contributing to the Linux kernel
because he was tired about devs caring about companies saying
$BULLSHT_BENCHMARK now gives lower results, instead of caring about the
desktop becoming faster for users. (it was about lowering latency and
improving the process scheduler, which would give better speed to the
desktop)
