"These random kernel boots found many 'impossible to trigger' bugs and races in the past. The reason for its race finding capability is the timing randomness of the resulting random kernel image: the delays caused by random combination of debugging facilities, build variants, kernel subsystem variants we have."

— Ingo Molnar, in a June 4th, 2008 message [1] on the Linux Kernel mailing list.
