Hi, [I will comment only on the Linux interface part, commenting on the rest being pointless.]

Please, point me a single commit in Linux tree saying: "Change interface FUU to make BAR's life a hell supporting their fork". Linux internal interfaces are changed for technical reason, not to make outside developer's life a hell. If your remark was to be true, Linux people would be really, but _really_ bad at doing this job and I wouldn't be able to support 21 different kernel, 7 years worth of development, with nothing more than a few header glue for a module hooking with the network stack, netfilter, and the socket layer. - Arnaud _______________________________________________ Cocci mailing list [email protected] http://lists.diku.dk/mailman/listinfo/cocci (Web access from inside DIKUs LAN only)
