We have all kinds of historical examples, but most of them turned into a major pain sooner or later - my favourite example are the SCSI protocol headers. Protocols needs to stay compatible on the (virtual) wire, but not on the language level. Locking us into the strict UABI policies for them just make someone life horrible further down the road. _______________________________________________ devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://driverdev.linuxdriverproject.org/mailman/listinfo/driverdev-devel
