Agreed. Is there some point at which we can stop supporting 2.4 from the 2.6
ifenslave? I mean, its kind of nebulous to just say the "common case"...
you gotta realize, most of us work in big companies like HP, IBM, Intel and
concepts of support life have real meaning to us.
This is a very interestng discussion. Do you have any insights into what
the other parts of the kernel are doing wrt to this problem?
