Recently I was compiling a new kernel and I noticed Raid-6 in the Raid section and wondered, “so what is raid-6 anyway?” Actually, history may recall a slightly more R-rated exclamation, but that was the gist. I was quite amused to find this in the help file.

use it, there is no guarantee whatsoever that it won’t

or re-appoint George W. Bush.
Gotta love these Linux kernel comments and help messages.
