This is the first one that adds a big set of features. And it is limite= d to the L2CAP layer. I took it out of last kernel release since it was incomplete and would not have been useful. Right now it is in a stage where it becomes usable. Only new profiles like the Health Medical stuf= f is making use of these features for now. However in the future more and more profile will requires support for it. The number of patches are not getting smaller. Except I arbitrarily merge them together. I am not planning to do that since I think it is not a good idea at all. And the patches have been reviewed by Jo=C3=A3o= Paulo Rechi Vita who worked with Gustavo on these changes. So do you want to postpone this for 2.6.35 merge window? Regards Marcel
