Sounds like the classic quote
"It has been said that democracy is the worst form of government
except all the others that have been tried."
from Winston Churchill.

There are parts of the Linux kernel that are bloated, ugly,
hackish, and otherwise suck eggs.  On the whole, however,
the Linux kernel is an excellent code base.  The last time
I reviewed busybox (a couple years ago) it was in a similar
state.  It sounds like you guys are making good progress
whipping the ugly parts into shape.  Keep it up!
