This discussion is purely academical because linux 2.4 is the *stable* branch, and will not move an inch. Linux 2.5 is the development branch and is feature freeze since last month...
Maybe after 2.5's entry as 2.6 or 3.0 :)

I had the chance to have the code checked by Rusty Russell 2 weeks ago. He agreed the implementation looks clean, but for the code to be merged in Linus tree there are few things that must happen: 1. People should start using it and providing feedback to the LKML. 2. More people should use it (maybe a major distro using it for securing bind would provide a nice set of bug reports??) 3. Linus should hear about it. And from people actually using it and finding it a Good Thing (tm). After the things above happen, there is a very small chance. Linus does not usually go hunting for code nor merges patches nobody has tested. At least, nobody from the "insiders" (i.e., the "unofficial core team").
for me, there are at least two issues left
- what would the "average" user do with ctx-features?
- if I don't want to use it, how can I disable it, without having some useless code in the kernel?
(Y/n/m) configuration is missing.
