Best wishes. Sorry to hit you with reality, but it just will not happen that I will try to convience any Linux kernel maintainer (anymore). It is their job to decide what they want and not mine to convince them. I offer code and arguments, but I will not offer my pride, ego or how you want to name it. If Linux kernel maintainers are unable to deal with the power they've got, that isn't my problem. Regards, Alexander Holler
