This argument seems to start from the assumption that any externally maintained kernel code *can* get into the kernel, which doesn't stand up to reality. Once you admit that there is code which, for very good reasons, won't ever be accepted into the mainline kernel tree, what you are saying amounts to: "Code that isn't fit to be included in the mainline kernel isn't fit to exist at all." I'm not sure I can agree with that. --=20 Tilman Schmidt E-Mail: tilman@imap.cc Bonn, Germany Diese Nachricht besteht zu 100% aus wiederverwerteten Bits.
