If he has a feeling that existing subsystem is adequate, he is unlikely to take replacements and intrusive enhancements (example: kbuild 2.5). Something along the lines "it is does not broke _enough_, don't rewrite it". (that's only IMHO, Linus didn't say it AFAIK) You'll need to show that "enhanced" printk/evlog is significant improvement and is worth the trouble. That won't be easy. That said, I wish you luck. -- vda - 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/ | ||||||||||||
