Today is my 10 year anniversary at SUSE! Also of being a kernel developer.
Damn, I'm old.

@lkundrak thanks!

Tbh it has to be boring now, writing about every step. But hopefully it will continue to be boring, with removal accepted.

Wow, 10 years.

I always hope to accumulate sufficient experience as an engineer but also don't want to get older... but can't have both :(

congrats anyway!!

why not call it just slab instead when we have only single implenentation ;)

and yeah there someone might suggest new implementation in the future but it should replace existing one to be merged... or we will have tens of allocators again (and run out of letters)
