Subject: Linux drivers management
Date: Mon, 06 Feb 2006 17:45:59 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <43E71AD7.5070600@shaolinmicro.com> (raw)

Dear maintainers,

Is there any work in Linux undergoing to separate Linux drivers and the 
the main kernel, and manage drivers using a package management system 
that only manages kernel drivers and modules? If this can be done, the 
kernel maintenance can be simple, and will end-up with a more stable 
(less frequent changed) kernel API for drivers, also make every 
developers of drivers happy.

Would like to see that happens .

regards,
David Chow
