Eric, Hold off objecting to Intel's UDI initiative until you've had
a chance to talk to Linus about it. Linus has been talking to Intel
about it and while not wildly enthusiastic, he does admit that if Intel
is able to get UDI widely deployed, then it could be a bad thing for
Linux if Linux did not support it.

For a variety of logical reasons Linus simply does not
see UDI as the threat that some of the mailing-list discussions have
made it out to be. I'll let him explain those arguments to you.

Cheers, Bob.
