Just to poke this thread some more, the overwhelming consensus I've seen
has been to:
- Stop using keywords for module versions
I'd like to just eliminate the use of keywords entirely, if this is the
case. There doesn't seem to be a use for them, other than the
misleading use of modinfo to determine a driver version. And it's been
sufficiently pointed out in this thread that that is a poor decision
given the other better alternatives.
Does anyone see a problem with dropping keywords in their entirety?
No problem at all in fact quite the opposite it is a good thing to drop
keywords they only confuse people in to thinking they have information
that they really don't have.
I also talked to some Sun field engineers who initally said that we
should keep this, I think explained all the caveats that were discussed
here and they instantly changed their mind to drop keywords.
