From: Miles Lane To: Linus Torvalds Cc: LKML Content-Type: text/plain Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit X-Mailer: Evolution/0.16.99 (Preview Release) Date: 27 Oct 2001 14:51:27 -0700 Message-Id: <1004219488.11749.19.camel@stomata.megapathdsl.net> Mime-Version: 1.0 Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org X-Mailing-List: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org Dear Linus, It seems like there has been the expectation that the 2.5 tree was about to be opened for at least the last two months. Would you be willing to state what the remaining impediments are to opening the tree? If you do so, it might help us more quickly resolve the remaining issues so we can begin implementing the many changes we have anticipated working on in the 2.5 tree. That said, I'll note that gaining clear agreement or at least consensus in the design of the new 2.5 driver model may be a prerequisite to opening the 2.5 tree. I'm not sure whether your intent is to wait for further design discussions to take place regarding other areas of major change.
