[B.A.T.M.A.N.] Completely out of context

[Christian Huldt]

Please feel free to disregard!

As processors (even the small ones) get faster and each and every device
gets more RAM, is there consequences as code is doing more?

Error handling is said to be 90% of good code, maybe a separate error
handling daemon that could be chosen as per the device?

You guys deliver so much changes (which is good) but I try to consider
the consequences, as in
for-profit-companies-find-it-cheeper-to-give-the-developers-better-computers-than-a-rise
which usually equates to bloatware that needs and uses so much more
resources than the actual task requires...

Not sure you're asking on the right mailing list for that.
batman-adv is a kernel module. In networking. With the informel
policy of being transparent, staying out of a users sight as much
as possible, with an assessable amount of configuration options.
So I believe batman-adv is one of the worst pieces of
software pieces you could have chosen for such an argument ;).

Ehm. batman-adv is written in C, capable of handling Gigabit links
on tiny embedded devices... not Java or such.
