Makes me wonder what else isn't > pushed... The holdup is that we drew a line in the sand for the 2.6.24 before 2.6.23 was released. We did this because of the massive amount of invasive change we already had queued up for 2.6.24. All those mods that got held up will be pushed into 2.6.25 release. Given the problems with the readdir changes (which still isn't 100% right given we've had at least one bug report of a crash in the readdir code post 2.6.24 release), we couldn't have handled much more change in that release.....
