You've got to be kidding. Using 2.4 for a new network-connected device, today? With all of its potential security holes that nobody is paying attention to? Easier to fork 3.15 and trim it down than to do *that*. And there *are* a huge number of useful features in 3.15+, not least of which drivers for current hardware. - Josh Triplett -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
