Very much could be redone to gain both speed and security, imho. I don't think such a brainstorm is going to happen within a 2.6 "stable" tree. We need a 2.7 tree for this, then people might want to experiment with rewrinting old code. But im not an expert on the Linux kernel, i have no idea really. I just startet to using 2.5/2.6 at some of the last 2.5 kernels. That was a whole new world, you could really feel the improvments over 2.4. -- 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/
