Who will do Alan's job in the next year? Marc is intrested doing this job. I know Marc from linux-2.2.x-secure and from the wolk project, see http://wolk.sourceforge.net. Why not Marc? He can surely differentiate between mainstream and a private kernel fork tree. Or do you think, Marc will merge every single bit out of his kernel tree into mainstream? I bet he won't I can't see postings from other people who want to take 2.2. I think 2.2 is not dead. I often see 2.2 kernels running on systems like wlan access points or dsl routers from different vendors. 2.2 is often used where stability is a must-have. At least security fixes have to go in. What do you think?
