Seems like the dev team has a good sense of humor!

Despite repeated polite requests to not ask us for specific feature ETAs, the questions kept coming. In an effort to try and curtail this, we toyed with setting a “minimum” date for the feature and simply doubling it every time the question was asked. This very quickly led to the date being after the predicted heat death of the universe. We fell back on a tried and tested response pioneered by id Software; DP Alt Mode will be done when it’s done.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
