Do a search through either the linux-kernel mailing list archive, or
Alan Cox's diary, and grep for "Alan Cox" and "BIOS writer". Generally,
it's quite funny, but also amazing how much damage those guys can do :[.
Very often it seems that the release milestone is 'it assembles', which
is quite sad for such an important piece of software....

Cheers,

Alex.
