How many people are actually using it for real work is a different question though. It's also true that it's not really supported by anyone as I orphaned it some time ago and nobody else seems to care enough to take it over. So if it's becoming a burden on people doing real kernel work then I don't think many tears will be wept for its removal. Chrissie
