As a 'black helicopter devotee' I'll state I have no desire to see
anything resembling a 'core team' or the bullshit politics that most certainly
will come with it.
Things just need to become ORGINIZED. There needs to be a solid system
for suppling patches and publishing kernels and Linus needs to USE IT.
I've supplied a few small patches and a new feature. I have NEVER heard
anything back on them. The closest I got was when I submitted the 2.0
version to Alan Cox...and ended with Alan waiting to hear back from Linus.
: P
Until Linus gets his shit together I'm apprehesive about working on the
kernel anymore except for things I can ship directly back to Alan. (Which
generally does not mean new features; what I'd like to play with.)
