For the record Bastian Blank coded the infrastructure for the stripping and the stripping itself. [chop] In the long run it might be a win for Free Software - history will tell. In the short term this is an annoyance for existing hardware driver support. I want to publicly congratulate the entire Kernel team for their efforts, both on the firmware problem, and all the other issues that come with dealing with such a large code base. The results are real and appreciated.
