I have deep respect for him. Many things went: more than 10 years in linux kernel development, tcpv4 syncookies implementation[0], x86_64 port, x86 merge and stepping out of i386 maintainership, nice in lkml, now changing employer from Suse to Intel (ask your's or maybe he wants to share something).
Maybe we can have more and officially about and from this Man?
