I disagree. Neither one of those links actually show the 'joke' that was removed.

It's described in the thread a few posts in I believe, but I also don't think the text of the joke is the point. The LWN article linked elsewhere in this thread probably better highlights the real issue: That RMS has made an authoritarian demand that his joke remain in the manual despite most everyone who maintains glibc opposing that.

HN won't let me edit the URL. I guess only a mod can do that.

@dang, can you do the honors sir^
