Errm, no. A tautology is a complex logical statement which is true for
all possible truth assignments to its elementary components. The above
is just am enthymeme for a simple deduction with a suppressed dependence
upon the law of excluded middle.
You're reading it differently to me. ;-)
A = we cannot release until the VFS is working
B = the vfs works
So Dimitris sentence is just a tautology
A & ~B => ~B & A
I guess you read the "fixing" part as meaning the vfs actually works
when clearly it doesn't by the qualification "breaks other stuff" :-)
