I'd love to see it integrated, but that time is passed for now... we've
just seen the 2.2 release and we cannot merge such a major functionality
at the moment... I don't believe that Linus would allow it....
Roll on 2.3!
I believe that from what I have seen, the existing patches are well good
enough for wider exposure say in 2.3 and mabe back porting into 2.2 once
they have had more of an outing in 2.3.
The old md stuff was merged around 2.0.2x so mabe the same can happen in
2.2 so that when we reach a truely settled 2.2.x kernel we can have raid
also... hopefully before Windows 2000!
