Oracle adds data-integrity code to Linux Kernel

It's interesting to note that Oracle's contributions to the Linux kernel are such that every one made gets a press release and media attention.

Looking at all the code contributed by IBM, Intel, Novell, Red Hat etc on a daily basis (that includes data integrity) work it amazes me that the media gets excited about an Oracle submitted patch.
Amusingly in the last kernel release Sun submitted more kernel changes than Oracle

Shame on the media for publishing Oracle's propaganda without investigation.
