I agree with all of yours. IMHO, the proposed scheme for 2.5 is plain bad. It will require an initrd (initramfs, or whatever), and force kernel installation to be more difficult. The performance overhead sounds like a major downside, epsecially when currently people know what hardware they have and build things into the kernel accordingly.
Between this and CML2, my mental image of 2.5+ is starting to look very grim. - 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/
