Well, notice this is the second time i asked him to look at how we do, and it
was mostly ignored. I am a bit warry of this approach, which basically
consists of reimplementing everything, without caring about the work done in
the past months he was not involved in. In france we have a saying about
throwing away the baby with the baby water, not sure if it translates well
though.

Indeed, but it would be good for Manoj to have a look at what we do before
doing intrusive changes all alone, and breaking our stuff, as did happen with
the 10.008 upload to unstable. We where all doing test build last nights, and
i believe that the 10.008 upload to unstable was premature, so let's only hope
this gets fixed quickly, as we are not able to make new kernel uploads until
this is fixed.
