That's the worst thing you could do for those of us maintaining 2.4/2.5 compatibility in drivers etc. Having to check "oh I'm in 2.4, let's see if I'm in 2.4.23 or $VENDOR 2.4.blah because then these random 2.5-like changes occurred" sucks like h*ll.
It's much better to have 2.4.$x be like 2.4.$y than 2.5.$z. - 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/
