Please, please include the [EMAIL PROTECTED]
list in your discussions of hotplug related issues. If you are
personally involved in hotplug related development, please also
join the list. Getting hotplug sorted out right is going to probably
be a major focus throughout the 2.5 development cycle and I expect the
results will be far better if we all learn from each other and
contribute to refining the core and shared functionality.
