If you start a project, that doesn't mean the "fork" is bad as long as the intention is to integrate the work back into the base. What you are asking for is for people to add to their list of things to code. You should be adding code yourself. > Second, the development of the kernel is already going this way, > regardless of our discussion. This is its logic.

Very rarely does a direction succeed if the people who want that specific direction don't submit code. Useful discussion would be asking for implementation suggestions to get to your goal. Oh wait, I think there are already some of those in this thread. Mike
