SubjectRe: Request: increase in PCI bus limit
Date
He's probably sending it to the list the same reason why most in tech
circles do.
To cut down on the amount of work required. Personally I would love to have
all my custom changes put into a 'standard' distribution that way I wouldn't
need
to keep as many custom notes for x,y,z platforms or what-else. Also for the
fact that it gives something back (generally if I run into a situation there
is a good
chance that someone else will run into it as well, so if I can make _his_
life
easier if he doesn't have the same knowledge it's worth it).
