LKML reference... Question: http://www.uwsg.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0103.1/0878.html Answer: http://www.uwsg.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0103.1/0898.html That's for the beginning of the 2.4 series. I'm sure that, in the past, I've found a post by Alan Cox detailing when the practice was no longer necessary, but I can't find it tonight. The HantsLUG archives may have it as it's something we've discussed before, many years ago.
