Hello, UML is in the current kernel and is working, I have never used the ska patch, it is not necessary, so it may not be maintained. I believe that the basic UML is maintained but KVM is taking the lead as kernel virtualisation solution. UML works well and must not be dismissed so easily. The cloonix-net is a totaly user tool, you never need to be root to use it, as a consequence, sockets are used to access to the UML or KVM emulated ethernet interfaces. As a matter of fact, the UML socket (a sun socket) is much more efficient than the KVM (qemu-kvm) socket (a stupid TCP socket that slows traffic when packets are too small). The consequence of this is that as long as the qemu socket network access is slow, I will use the UML machines for my own usage in cloonix. But for compilation or any other cpu usage, KVM with the virtio (para-virtualisation) devices is much faster than UML.
UML is probably there to stay, and there may be debug usages where it is better than KVM.
