I hope we don't do this, as I don't think that is a very good distinction either. I prefer some of the other suggestions, where we simply have mix-n-match configuration options. Select a board and processor type and go from there. I have had the opportunity lately to use some of the other Linux processor architecture configurations. The Linux PowerPC configuration really isn't too bad, and I would prefer just a small evolution. If you want to see some bad configuration and hard to use environments, go visit some of the other emerging architectures....... I think even some of the "source restructuring" that has been discussed could also be mitigated with a more logical set of configuration options. -- Dan ** Sent via the linuxppc-dev mail list.
