We have apps that "know" about specific major/minors that need changing and will take time - also some of them are closed source so unfixable.
For new stuff that bit isnt an issue, although ioctl overlaps mean we have some other problems to worry about there - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
