Out of curiosity, would you reaccept xiafs in 2.5, if it was cleaned up and forward ported to use the new interfaces? And if you accept it, what's the latest date I could submit it? Technically, it is a regression, ;-) so the feature freeze date might not apply. Regards, Carl-Daniel P.S. I do not want to start a flamewar, it's just that I understood your mail from back then as a call for a xiafs maintainer. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
