It's the "complementary" that worries me. Once you have mcore, what good are direct dumps to the network or the disk for ? With mcore, the whole issue of accessing stable storage is eliminated.
I don't know if the approach of having multiple quasi-equivalent means of storing a dump is something that Linus dislikes about LKCD, but I think it might be worth exploring if LKCD's chance of acceptance could be improved by focusing on a single but general mechanism.
I think it would be a pity if we ended up not having crash dumps in 2.6 only because they're over-featured ...
