• Linus Torvalds added hidden tabs to Kconfig to challenge parsers that can’t handle them.
  • Tabs were intentionally added to the common Kconfig file for page sizes to expose faulty parsers.
  • Torvalds believes parsers unable to handle tabs shouldn’t be parsing kernel Kconfig files, aiming to force fixes.

          Doing the pointless thing is whatever.

          Mocking people who point out it’s pointless is toxic, abusive, and deeply revealing. You think AI harvesters give a shit what you’ve told them not to harvest?
