No, we're not going to do that. We cannot do that. We need to work with mainstream kernels. But some semantics of usermode programming on linux force us to do some things that are "ugly". So we ask you to evaluate (we're not looking for a commit to apply anything we send to you, but just to evaluate) some patches that change these things that are very important for us. That's why i asked you to do something like the Apache inclusion of SGI patches. The SGI guy is adapting the patches until the Apache team say they're ok, but there is not commit to apply them, just to evaluate. > These patches, which we have been bombarded with requests to include > into the main tree, are being stated by its' main developers as not > "ready for inclusion" yet, not even a simple extracted DOUBLE_BIND > patch? > I really am furious that people have made such a stink about the USAGI > ipv6 patches, claiming that our ipv6 in the main kernel is "too broken > to use".
