    The sharp uptick of crap flown around 2.6 piques my interest. As does someone’s introduction of ‘retard’ into the vocabulary shortly prior. Must have been popcorn times.

      I don’t think this uptick of 2.6 sounds fair to be interpreted as a timeline because it stuck around for five years. Also around that time embedded devices boomed, and LTS kept it alive well into 2010s. I bet there have to be a large amount of swears from the later developers tried hard to fix bugs.
