This all seems to be heading in the wrong direction. Do we really want to have lots of different system accounting packages all hooking into a generic we-cant-decide-what-to-do-so-we-added-some-pointless-overhead framework?
Can't we get _one_ accounting system in there, get it right, avoid the framework? - 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/
