You seem to have this idea of everyone having some sacred right of having their code either in the kernel or supported by the kernel developers. That's fine, but last I checked, does not apply to Linux. It is up to the maintainers to decide what's included and what's not. We obviously don't want _everything_ in the kernel anyway and don't want to stagnate the kernel development because of out-of-tree code either. If you're unhappy about maintainer decisions, feel free to complain to them or better yet, step up to do the necessary legwork to get the code included. After all, that's how Linux development works. - 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/
