Adrian Bunk did a cleanup, but as always there was the negative factor on LKML, which shot his stuff totally down. I am not sure if anybody else have done this. There is also a project for 2.6 sanitized headers (like the RH thing), but I heard it is rather a butchering - cannot comment myself though. > but like kumba said, i think the end result was that they want to do this, but > it's going to happen in 2.7 (2.8 for most of us) > They have always said they want to do this - even 6-8 months ago when I started a thread about cdrecord. It is however very low priority (and if you really want my opinion, its more an excuse if pressed into and corner than anything else). -- Martin Schlemmer Gentoo Linux Developer, Desktop/System Team Developer Cape Town, South Africa
