(I will post a proposed removal schedule > today to make this better known.) I don't see much point in declaring a moratorium against drivers/ieee1394. Perhaps that removal will never happen. Perhaps third parties will find reason to revert that removal and to continue to maintain drivers/ieee1394. Perhaps people will take code snippets from drivers/ieee1394 and will move them into drivers/firewire. The bottom line is that the patch improves the code. And there ain't nothing wrong with having better code. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe kernel-janitors" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
