This is so incredibly incorrect. There is consensus on making network stacks able to use this address space. And that is all that the patch does. The consensus is only missing on whether to make the address space public or private. This is also clearly spelled out in the draft. It is important to get as large of a head start on this as possible because of how long it takes to deploy something like this. -- 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/
