I've had a few people asking me to submit it, but I'm not convinced it would be worthwhile. Would people read it if they had problems ?
make modules_install prints out a warning pointing them at it, yet as this thread indicates, not everyone bothers to go there and read it. Maybe if it was in-tree things would be different, but I'm not convinced. People want things to 'just work' rather than have to read about how to make them work.
That said, if it was in-tree it would be easier for people other than myself to update it as things change. The current doc is a little out of date (last changed about 6 months ago), so probably needs a little work before its ready for submission.
Is there enough interest in this from people to justify me putting any effort into it ? If theres any value in having this in tree, I'll submit the current version to Andrew for -mm, and see if anyone dives in and starts chopping/changing things.
If this does happen, it'd probably be worth eventually replacing Documentation/Changes with it.
