I think we're going in circles on this argument right now and I'd like to simply leave things as they are until more people in core have had the chance to comment. I'm specifically interested in David's reaction since we may need him to play "tie breaker" on this one, but David is also at OSDI in New Orleans at the moment and probably hasn't seen any of this discussion. Since he's our principal architect and the guy we elected to have final say on contraversial issues exactly like this one (I don't see a core team concensus coming together on this yet but maybe one will and DG won't even have to break a tie), we need to get his input before any final "ruling" on this is made. Given the mixed reactions I've seen so far on this issue, it may well wind up being his decision by default. - Jordan > In message <Pine.BSF.4.05.9902211336080.9637-100000@heathers.stdio.com>, Larr y > > >So are my suggestions for making my driver and Olicom's objects more > >palatble to the source tree not acceptable?
