Bogus and dishonest argument. Listen to yourself, and read this thread again. The thread was about doing some kind of open-source library to allow non-open-source access to these events, and keeping backwards compatibility in user space. In fact, that is what you yourself said. So you claimed it could be backwards-compatible. If that's the case, then there is no excuse for not being so in the kernel. You can't have it both ways. Stop the f*cking waffling.
