Well that's just silly. The right way will never create 3 ways, but always keep the limit to the existing 2 where the differences aren't worth reconciling, and 1 for anything that is common. It will be a fair amount of work, so any constructive input you have upfront would be helpful. thanks, -chris - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
