Actually, perhaps some of the non-functional and misfunctional things might get fixed first and save the diet for 2.6.5 or so. There is no lack of things which haven't been quiet ported from 2.4, don't work right, etc.
I doubt that the people who care most about size are going to be doing a fast change to 2.6 until the dust settles. -- bill davidsen <davidsen@tmr.com> CTO, TMR Associates, Inc Doing interesting things with little computers since 1979. - 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/
