In a production environment the competence and experience is usually distributed across several teams and it's not realistic to just label "stupid" somebody who has a deep understanding of the HW platform but not so good understanding of kernel internals. > = Once there is a clean separation between mechanism and policies, there is no need to have a kernel developer take care of issues that are purely HW-related. -- = Cheers, Igor Igor Stoppa (Nokia M - OSSO / Tampere)
