(Maintained => a maintainer) From the MAINTAINTERS file: Supported: Someone is actually paid to look after this. Maintained: Someone actually looks after it. Odd Fixes: It has a maintainer but they don't have time to do much other than throw the odd patch in. See below.. Orphan: No current maintainer [but maybe you could take the role as you write your new code]. Obsolete: Old code. Something tagged obsolete generally means it has been replaced by a better system and you should be using that. > On Thu, 15 Feb 2007, Randy Dunlap wrote: > > > From: Randy Dunlap > > > > Are we ready to do this? > > I'd love for Tony to return, but he's been missing for awhile now. > > > > So this give us the following major areas that are marked as Orphan: > > > > Firmware loader > > Framebuffer > > Serial (8250/16x50) > > > > and PCMCIA has a Team.
