En fait c'est aussi en configurant ~/.bashrc que Linus a testé le patch. Il veut ce patch dans le noyau pour que ce soit "magique", sans que les utlisateurs se posent de questions:
Because it's something we want to do it for all users, and for all shells, and make sure it gets done automatically. Including for users that have old distributions etc, and make it easy to do in one place.
And then you do it for all the other heuristics we can see easily in the kernel. And then you do it magically without users even having to _notice_.
