When it's determined to be useful and to be added to the main kernel sources, we'll allocate a number. Before that time, there is no need to allocate. We'd run out quickly if everyone with a funny netlink thing they wanted to do asked for a number. - 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/
