Hence it could be evaluated against the previous version of the Kernel, thus displaying any and all code changes made. These new facts could then be freely distributed throughout the Linux community.
So infact by reducing the information relating to the changes and patches to the kernel, Alan is infact telling us to "dig deeper and find out for yourself". Ok. so this may help make it somewhat more difficult to find the details of a patch, but it will not stop it.
Nice try though.
