hsmyers is referring to the first sentence in the linked pdf.

    Parallel machines are hard to program, and we should
    make them even harder – to keep the riff-raff off them.

Thanks mertd. Can you explain what this has to do with my latex comment? I was not supposed to describe the magic behind the typesetting/layout?

I believe hsmyers was jokingly trying to say that it would suck if everybody ("riff-raff") started using that template going forward, rendering it "normal", hence not special anymore.
