A patch to later versions of Linux (past 2.4.7) is easy, but we don't yet
see much point.
A) There is too much instability and changes in things that
need RTLinux changes (e.g. softirq)
B) There are incompatible Linus and Alan versions with
completely different memory management systems.
C) PowerPC is a horrible mess.
D) There is no clear advantage
So unless some of these change, we will continue to wait.
However, we would be happy to put later patches on the web site so that
the adventurous people can be adventurous.
