Re: UPDATED: Rusty's Remarkably Unreliable 2.6 List

[Steven Dake <sdake@mvista.com>]

Rusty,

Please also consider adding FibreChannel/Scsi hotswap support to your list.

The patch has been through several revisions, has been reviewed by over 
15 people on lkml and scsi, and has support of the SCSI maintainers.  I 
feel its really prime time now, thanks to all of the contributions by 
lkml'ers.
