GregKH likes to tell the story of one architecture that is actively maintained, but only has about 2 users total. The point isn't how available the hardware is; the point is to see how others are using the code. Having a larger base of platform support to draw from makes it easier to recognize patterns in the code which Or, from a more selfish perspective; It's one thing to say "this will/won't work because of that platform over there that you can't see", and quite another to show the code and say "this is what I need to do". If you get your code merged, it is easier to influence the design direction. ie. you can say "Don't do that; you'll break this supported board!" :-) Cheers, g. -- Grant Likely, B.Sc., P.Eng.
