Quote from Andrew Morton's talk at OLS: http://www.zip.com.au/~akpm/linux/patches/stuff/ols-2004.txt "Some features tend to encapsulate poorly, and to have their fingers into lots of different places. Memory hot-unplug is an example which comes to mind. We may end up not being able to accept such features at all, due to their expected long-term impact upon the maintainability of those parts of the software which they touch, and to the fact that very few developers are likely (or even able) to regression test them." Seems like there might be a few opportunities for osdl.org to help in this regard. Why not investigate?. -- Mary Edie Meredith maryedie@xxxxxxxx 503-626-2455 x42 Open Source Development Labs
