Jon's changes are non-trivial and have long lasting implications. First posting of the changes was made on Sept 23, just over a week ago. Jon told me about the new design only a month ago. Not a lot of time. This is not the same as adding a new driver or supporting a new SoC. The consequences have considerable broader reach. Time must be allowed for us to mull over the design. Merging for 2.6.28 is too aggressive. I appreciate that you're frustrated with the lack of alternate proposals, but there hasn't been enough time yet. g. -- Grant Likely, B.Sc., P.Eng.
