Now that my message has gained legitamacy through word wrapping, since people's email clients don't seem to be able to flow text, could I get an answer to my questions? God, I didn't think that my mailer was that 31337.
Do you get the impression also that getting any real questions addressed is a bit difficult? ;-) (Still no real response to my original *polite* inquiry...) (<-- look Alan, no caps!)
My question still remains: What is a feature, and what is a bug fix? And what are the real criteria for making it into the kernel? "Technical merit" is not an acceptable answer. On "technical merit" Linux makes a horrible can opener.
(But I'm sure a salesman could sell it as such anyway...)
Some <open>ness here would be appreciated...
Mike
