However, put your business hat for a minute. We want increased market share for linux and a lot of us, you included, live by it. Oh my buisness hat is certainly on, which is why I keep talking about the people who need this "paying for implementation and support of AIO for Linux". :-) Make no mistake, I do agree with your points though in general. But those things are not dependent upon "standard Linus Linux" having AIO first, this is what vendors do for differentiation by shipping feature X in their kernel before others. - 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/
