Parent article: The kernel's command-line commotion

I read that paragraph to my wife and my eyes are watering. Great writeup.

The hilarious one, lol:

> Users, being the irascible creatures that they are, have expressed the unreasonable opinion that replacing the command names of processes in their system-management tools with small integers is an unwelcome change. They have been spoiled by being able to see which program each process is running and feel entitled to that ability in the future. Kernel programming would be so much easier without users, but that is not the world we live in.
