Sorry, but this argumentation is utter bullshit.
If $VENDORKERNEL/freebsd/sco/windows2000 runs $APP and we don't, what does this mean? Right, exactly nothing. Follwoing that path of argumentation we could also merge the almost 1000 patches from SuSE's tree because you can be pretty sure some IHV or ISV relies on it.
I've talked to three persons at Oracle and neither likes it at all, in fact en Oracle employee is working on doing quota for hugetlbfs which fixes this properly. Merging some horrible hacks that completly change the authorization model (for a special case, that is) in the middle of stable series doesn't get us anywhere, except into a horrible unmaintable mess. - 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/
