I disagree - we can probably make the aio by Ben quite important. Done right, it becomes a very natural way of doing event handling, and it could very well be rather useful for many things that use select loops right now.
So I actually like the thing as it stands now. What I don't like is how it's been handled, with people inside Oracle etc working with it, but _not_ people on the kernel mailing list. I don't worry about the code nearly as much as I worry about people starting to clique together.
