Since it's called "Hurr Durr I'ma Sheep", I thought I'd ask a celebrity
what he thought of it.
The response was much as I'd expected: http://goo.gl/ZefDFV
Others simply said that "it was baaad".

I'm amused that as usual, dynamic patching of kernel source, like replacing
dynamic libraries, is presented uniformly as a way to fix bugs everywhere
quickly, because we all know that bugs always are fixed and never
introduced, and being able to capture a kernel without rebooting is never
of practical interest.
