So, how can we enable those that want to play with these other kernels?
I think it's going to come down to something along the lines of having
those kernels be projects in and of themselves. <snip>
Now, once those kernel projects become more stable, then you can take a
two pronged approach. You start pushing stuff upstream, and you start
moving stuff into Core as Xen, GFS, etc are currently done. But trying
to actually do _development_ of the kernels that way just doesn't scale
and causes the burnout that lots of people have talked about already.
Agreed. If someone wants to build up a community around a separate
project thats cool. Then if it gets a following it can pursue
upstream. The concept of doing parallel kernel development in the main
kernel pool freaked me out.
