I agree. Many of our contracts have a financial incentive built in to get "mainlined". Some of our projects' sole objective is to mainline already existing stuff (like Linux-tiny and SquashFS). If anyone has a feature that already exists, but that they think should be merged with the relevant upstream project, that's a good candidate for a proposal. One obvious project, which I'm waiting to see if someone else submits, is to pay someone to mainline some of the outstanding Android patches into the Linux kernel. -- Tim ============================= Tim Bird Architecture Group Chair, CE Linux Forum Senior Staff Engineer, Sony Corporation of America ============================= -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-embedded" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
