Sigh. Well, I guess it was a mistake in believing that you guys
would actually write considered responses to the list (except
for Jordan who while I don't agree with his position, at least
took some time to think about the issue). Lets see, what have I
heard so far? Jordan wants a major generification of the mechanism
(about a 3 man-day's worth of work. At least). Peter and Bernd
are posting their favorite (and apparently extremely complex and
non-standard) partitioning methodologies, neither of which is
even close to being appropriate for sysinstall, and Nate... well,
Nate means well, but I was hoping for a review of the init_param*()
split, not a critique of minor syntax.
Ah well. Perhaps my expectations were a little too high.
