He does a good job on this and he focussed more on 2.6 in the las= t=20 months. But I'm sure that he can be convinced to bring 2.4 to the same stat= e=20 as 2.6 at least. On the other hand we live very well with the MTD patches=20 since long, so what :) I never trust the kernel stuff of subsystems, which= =20 have a active development team :) =2D-=20 Thomas ________________________________________________________________________ "Free software" is a matter of liberty, not price.
