As only beeing reader of this list.., why not simply reduce the work load by
- reducing the number of supported kernel versions to five major
versions? Currently 2.6.28 would mean down to 2.6.23,
this would be enough cover all nearly up-to-date distributions. Users
from embedded devices are anyway mostly not able to compile or use newer
drivers.
- not changing to git, already since this generates a lot of work
Not too far away dev was changed from cvs to hg, and already there some
pieces are left over (for example that api stuff).
- force users to upgrade their kernel if (breaking these backward
compat, and only if) *major* upgrades inside standard kernel would
require a very huge amount of backporting, for example that i2c stuff.
I guess such solution would help immediately.
