What happened in the fall of 2011? I was reading the homepage for Subsurface (a project Linus developed) when I came across this tidbit near the bottom:
In fall of 2011, when a forced lull in kernel development gave him a chance to start a new project, Linux creator Linus Torvalds decided to tackle his frustration with the lack of decent divelog software on Linux.
What "forced" such a lull in kernel development?
