Or 'Kittens don't die, they just go to Hell and regroup!'

Heard anyone say "Don't hack core!'? Or maybe you saw the t-shirts, stickers, Youtube videos, websites, sessions, articles and tattoos spelling it out.

Well, they are wrong! Yes. All of them. I'm serious! Really.

You should totally hack core, and probably more often that you think - on the condition that you do it the right way.

In this case 'the right way' means writing patches, documenting them and the deploying the patch with Make.

Show up, learn how to hack core the responsible way and maybe show off a few of your own unofficial core patches.
