If people don't use them, they don't get supported. It's that easy. Its also a lot easier to update them once the core stops changing! There are some things I worry about - the bio splitting has to be resolved, IDE raid can't happen until that occurs and I'm also waiting for the IDE taskfile stuff/bio splitting bits to resolve so I can merge a load of IDE updates to make things like SII IDE and newer HPT chips work in 2.5.x/2.6 Architectures are also normally just a sync up job and its again easier to do once the core has stoppee changing. - 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/
