So do you speak for the entire community in expressing that auto-detection will never make sense in the kernel? Are you completely unwilling to entertain even a minor discussion on the topic for those of us that don't understand the concerns the community has in supporting it? > As for the actual code please post diffs instead of tarballs. If you look at the posted code, you'll see that diffs make little sense at this point. But I will generate diffs in addition to the tarball with the next release later this week. -- Justin
