But anyway i'm going to come with som thoughts about it. I think that 2.6 should be frozen from now on, just security related stuff should be merged. This would strengthen Linux's reputation as a stable and secure system, not a unstable and a system just used for fun. A 2.7 should be created where all new experimental stuff is merged into it, and where people could begin to think new again. New thoughts are good in all ways, it is for sure very much code in the current kernels that should be revised, rewritten and maybe marked as deprecated. :) -- Mvh / Best regards Espen Fjellv?r Olsen espenfjo@gmail.com Norway - 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/
