You got me wrong. I would like to actively support every platform that actively supports us. Note the reciprocity. That means that I don't want to remove old code like the one in sanei scsi (18 platforms supported in 5922 lines of codes with a plethora of #ifdefs). But that also means that I do not want to, for example, avoid C99 in my backends only because there are some platforms with a couple of users that are unable to compile it. That also means that, personally, I do not care about closed source things. -- Best regards, Alessandro Zummo, Tower Technologies - Torino, Italy http://www.towertech.it
