Dear maintainers,

Is there any work in Linux undergoing to separate Linux drivers and the the main kernel, and manage drivers using a package management system that only manages kernel drivers and modules? If this can be done, the kernel maintenance can be simple, and will end-up with a more stable (less frequent changed) kernel API for drivers, also make every developers of drivers happy.

Would like to see that happens .

Please read Documentation/stable_api_nonsense.txt in your copy of Linux source.
