Difficult situation. There's some really important information missing from the changelog: - Who cares? Is there some real application which is hurting from the current situation? If so, who, what, how and why. If not, then why change anything? - A description of the userspace API change impact. How did the interface change? What is the risk of this change causing damage to real applications? If we can answer these questions then we're in a position to make the pain-versus-gain tradeoff decision. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
