According to <http://lkml.org/lkml/2007/2/1/373> and <http://lkml.org/lkml/2007/2/3/180>, the problem is mostly lack of developer time to make the code ready for the kernel, which is _exactly_ what we're talking about here. There's also the open question of how to keep 2.4 compatibilty without having to maintain two parallel trees. In ALSA, we have a 'clean' kernel tree and a set of patches to add the compatibility hacks, but this is of course still more complex than a single tree. Regards, Clemens
