Reality check... the in-kernel API for drivers is _very_ different in

Most of the big 2.4 module changes involve

Let's see if Linus creates a modular 2.5 tree. If he does, merging
MANOS back into Linux will be a pleasant experience

Alan,
Were Linux to go totally modular in 2.5, development cycles will be
reduced by 1/2 to 1/3. This is because you could always roll back to
known good modules to post a release. The way you guys are going, if
Linux stays monolithic, your cycles will get longer and longer.

It requires too much people overhead. I have proposed another idea which is at
about 10 months i
What about creating three kernel series:
2.2. stable
2.4. feature frozen
2.5 development?
As soon as 2.4 comes out, 2.7 is created, 2.6test
will be feature frozen.
Development time would be shorter, and
the nuisance with "this important feature has tz slip
in" would be finished.
