I think the real question is to ask ourselves what this list is about:
A) People interested on doing real-time using Linux
B) RTLinux
C) RTAI
I don't have any data to back my predictions, but given the choice
of selecting more than one of the possible answers, most would have
"A" as part of their answer, and a great lot would probably have
A and B and C and more items which I haven't listed.
Bottom line, contrary to Guilherme's assumptions, I think that both RTL
and RTAI have hopped on the same wagon, without necessarily knowing it,
which is the general interest in doing real-time in Linux. RTL seems
to have been the rendez-vous point of all those jumping on that wagon
even though, granted, it was created with the intent of serving B only.
This has 2 effects. First, it makes it hard for any single
real-time linux related project to go off the list without loosing
part of the "A" crowd. Second, it makes it hard for the host project, "B",
to throw any real-time linux related project off the list without loosing
part of it's authority and credibility.
Just so no one would accuse me of being coerced, please do feel
free to disagree totally and completely with what I've said. Therefore,
if you can't stop me from saying it, no one can stop you from disagreeing
with it.
