And that was the correct thing to do at the time. A load of people who had previously been just sitting on the sidelines watching the mass of uusb grow, were suddenly able to start to contribute. This raised the level of the code, and again, was an incremental development cycle. > Fast-forward a few years and look at the kernel usb system now.

That would be interesting to compare, I remember the old code, and know the current code quite well, so my thoughts are probably pretty biased :) thanks, greg k-h (current Linux USB maintainer...) ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek Welcome to geek heaven. http://thinkgeek.com/sf _______________________________________________ kbuild-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/kbuild-devel
