This series of messages was (and is) directed to the kernel development team in hopes that since we're helping each other by writing our respective parts of the TOTAL Linux package that you'll listen to the concerns of your counterparts.
As an application software developer the thought that feature development is abandonned or postponed in favor of backward compatibility worries me. If I'm mistaken, and the trend exists in my mind only, I apologize for the message clutter and return to irradiating myself in front of my X console.
I sincerely hope that Linux has not adopted the "We know whats best and screw you and your suggestions" attitude. Yes - I can roll up my sleeves and hack the SMP code but I doubt I can do it better than you guys. However I'll produce a hell of a development tool - if we cooperate.
Regards,
Y.
P.S. Mr. Linker:
You give yourself far too much credit thinking I'd waste my telling you what to do.
