I can't seem to find Eric's message archived anywhere. FWIW I am opposed to any large-scale cleanup of the configuration language and/or identifiers in -any- 2.4.x series kernel. Not only C code but installer utilities are affected by changes in the CONFIG_xxx identifiers. If we change that namespace, we are changing part of the API that is exported to drivers. Definitely not 2.4.x stuff. If we are moving to CML2 in 2.5, I see no point in big CML1 cleanups. -- Jeff Garzik | May you have warm words on a cold evening, Building 1024 | a full moon on a dark night, MandrakeSoft | and a smooth road all the way to your door. - 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/
