[Editor's Note: Though I am normally content to let news be
posted here without comment from the Linux Today staff, I found I
could not let the news of LWN's possible folding go without at
least a few words.
As readers of LWN, we are saddened by the announcement made
by LWN's staff in this week's Weekly Edition. Their take on the
headlines surrounding the Linux community have been nothing less
than exemplary. The staff of Linux Today, past and present, has
always regarded the LWN site as a different voice in the business
of bringing Linux news to readers--a different and respected
voice.
We sincerely hope that LWN's announcement was premature and
that their voice in the chorus of the Linux community is not
silenced.
