My worry is that l-k will now house discussions of 2.0, 2.2, 2.4, 2.5, aa, dnj, et al...
I care very little for discussion of all the kernel varients other than those that I am interested in.
In fact, I really could care less about any dicussion other than 2.2 and 2.4. However, I have to wade through all the discussion of the other versions to get to what I want. Often there is nothing in emails that idenfity what versions the other is talking about.
And now with the flood of new kernel trees, the info I am particularly interested in is going to be even further buried.
Since the powers that be are utterly against breaking l-k into topical subgroups, how about the various "versions" including something that I can use to identify and toss those messages I am not interested in.
I'm primarily a 2.4 user, why do I care about all this 2.5 discussion?
