SubjectRe: Linus stress-control vs. development
  Hi,

Maybe Linux is becomming too big, and will continue to
grow, because it is more a collection of driver than a
strictly minimum kernel.

Maybe Linux should just include in its release:
- memory managment
- tasks managment
- interrupt/DMA/SMP managment
- module managment
- Virtual File System
- Virtual sound system
- Virtual Char Driver (to be invented)
- Virtual Block Driver (to be invented)
- Virtual Screen Driver
- Virtual Charset mapping
- Virtual Network protocol (?)

And other(s) (maybe parallel) distribution(s) would include
each other compoments - some been processor dependant,
some been maintained by commercial company, some been
maintained by individual and those been unmaintained.

Maybe Linus would like to maintain the Linux minimum core
plus some "blocks" of the second distribution - at least
one of each Virtual blocks - as he wish, and someone
else/a group (maybe commercial) would take the responsability
of the second distribution(s) - including "public relation" as
we call that in France.
This second group would be in a position to talk about UDI
projects or directly to hardware manufacturer.

Maybe I should not write so much to spare bandwidth...
Etienne.
