Being a crazy tradition set by the Sparc AP1000, I'm happy with a single user :-) The Yosemite stuff scores higher on my kill list anyway. The board support code was never too great but that's not the issue; the SOC's network driver which is rotting away in the linux-mips.org git tree as the last change that can't be merged upstream as it is, stopped even compiling ages ago and while a superior replacement has been posted, nobody cared enough to get it into mergeable shape. Now that 3.7 is finally released, hasta la vista, Yosemite. Ralf
