I wanted to note what Martin Mares just raised in the thread "State of the Linux PCI Subsystem for 2.6.18-rc6": > Changing the device order in the middle of the 2.6 cycle doesn't sound > like a sane idea to me. Many people have changed their systems' configuration > to adapt to the 2.6 ordering and this patch would break their setups. > I have seen many such examples in my vicinity. > > I believe that not breaking existing 2.6 setups is much more important > than keeping compatibility with 2.4 kernels, especially when the problem > is discovered after more than 2 years after release of the first 2.6. I'm not siding with either Martin or Matt explicitly, just noting that there are good arguments for both sides.
