What are our standards for maintenance? How can we tell in advance if something is going to be maintained (cf. drivers/net/chelsio)? I don't think you can seriously argue that just posting documentation is going to guarantee that a device is going to get a high-quality driver that runs on all architectures and that enterprise distros will support. And I don't think it's a good strategy to try convince vendors to open docs by using happy talk about an idealized fantasy world. - R. - 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/ | ||||||||||
