Anybody > intrested should subscribe to that ML. Yes. This will affect only the packages used for i386 and alpha. The others have maintainers besides Herbert Xu, but I would very much like to coordinate with them, espeically in order to keep in line with my aggressive mainline tracking goals.

No need for excuses. In my eyes, all architectures are on equal footing. I would like to inspire a unified effort, regardless of the fact that it may involve no specific change in direction, to elevate all architectures to equal status and to make mainline work everywhere for 2.6. For 2.4 and earlier kernels, of course, the divergent paths must remain (for reasons I can explain in more detail upon request). The list above is very certainly non-exhaustive. I would like to hear feedback from the kernel maintainers for ports having their own kernels so they can be listed as my equals, if not my betters, in the kernel maintainership listings. -- wli
