The kernel name space pollution has improved slightly, the report is getting smaller. The report is against a full i386 kernel compile with as much code as possible compiled as modules.
For the record, I *am* planning to fix the tty and serial name space pollution issues. The main reason why I haven't done much Linux kernel work lately is that most of developement is on a laptop these days, which means PCMCIA support and modules are too broken for me to use.
Grumble.... *when* will where be a stable kernel/modutils combination that doesn't require 200+ kilbytes to the kernel before you have something which might (or might not) work? I understand that things might be unstable for a little while during the 2.1 development series, but if things remain too broken for too long, developers won't be able to work against the latest versions, either. This is Bad (tm).
