Is someone actually coding up a first-draft hotplug solution to do some experimentation?
There are two ways to design standard libraries. One way is to take software that someone has been working on and using, clean it up, and release it. This is the Linux model -- more or less how libusb* has operated throughout its life. This is also how the original C standard was created -- they standardized existing practice. The other way is to have design committees debate arcana endlessly for months at a time, and then once the arcana are settled, go implement something to the spec. This is the way the C++ standard committees have worked since the original spec -- specify innovation. It looks to me like the current hotplug debate is using the latter approach. I'm not sure that's a path to success. Hotplug is a minefield; I'm afraid we're going to find that the real world does not so neatly fit the nice specification. -- Tim Roberts, t...@probo.com Providenza & Boekelheide, Inc. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Free Next-Gen Firewall Hardware Offer Buy your Sophos next-gen firewall before the end March 2013 and get the hardware for free!
