So they'll get paid to implement and support it, and that is precisely what is happening right now. And the whole point I'm trying to make is that that is where it's realm is right now. If AIO was so relevant+sexy we'd be having threads of discussion about the AIO implementation instead of threads about how relevant it is or is not for the general populace. Wouldn't you concur? :-) The people doing Java server applets are such a small fraction of the Linux user community. - 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/
