Exactly the idea. And I think it's politically important for *you* to
be the person to edit the roadmap and present it to lkml.

I've already written mine. I'll put it in the CML2 distribution.

OK, so we're now looking at three patches:
Transition patch 1: CML2 installation
Transition patch 2: Kaos makefiles installation
Transition patch 3: .config format change
and a possible fourth:
Transition patch 4: Giacomo's autoprober.
(The autoprober want to come last, because the format change will make
life easier for it.)
