IF, and I emphasize the word *if*, MIPS Technologies were make a bigger investment in MIPS/Linux technology, be it kernel enhancements, cross/native tools, userland ports, libraries, or whatever, what would be your prioritized "wish list"? Feel free to respond by point-to-point email, though responses that are also copied to the mailing list might provoke some interesting and enlightening debate. Regards, Kevin K.
