It's hard to describe what I mean. Basically, to the outside world via media, it is presented as "Valve is taking gaming to Linux. Wow, Linux is now capable of gaming!" That's all fine and everything. But we need to ensure that the kernel and all other aspects of code under our control is up to the task of handling a massive dump of games for Linux. Otherwise, it's going to backfire on us and Linux overall. It's moving very quickly.
