Since I am a kernel programmer, please let me explain. The 2.6 kernel series has been going through a remarkably fast evolution since the 2.6.0 release in December 2003. This speed was only possible because the internal kernel interfaces could be changed continuously to match newer requirements.
Is there any hope to make kernel external driver API (must have stable interfaces) for third party developers (like nvidia & vmware) - so that their drivers will work well with *all* distros and *all* future versions?
