Yeah, I know about the extraversion and localversion stuff. I should have explicitly mentioned in my original proposal that the whole point of using the [EMAIL PROTECTED] stuff to encode kernel origin is to *AVOID* the module versioning problem that results when you do it this way. Now surely the end user kernels should ensure that the modules match the kernel, but we don't do that now, and my approach was intended to minimize the user-visible impact. Are we ready to deal with the "I flashed my kernel but I forgot to update my rootfs -- now my neo won't boot!" problems? :-D Mike (mwester)
