The main against is we create another binary interface, this one in kernel, these are evils we know and more importantly care more about than the standard lk... the later we leave to do this the happier I'll be, I think the writing is on the wall, it will happen the timing is what is left as an exercise for the reader, my next project after I complete the kernel merging of current patches is to start slowly one header file at a time moving towards the split... > The bug probably has something to do with the intermodule support.
