Have a whack at ripping apart another edition of the [a?] Linux
2.5 - 2.6 TODO. I have started organizing the list under some
general categories, but it's not done (hence the Uncategorized).
I am requesting additions, deletions, etc. to reflect the current
view on what should go in and what shouldn't. If there are any things
that should not go in 2.5 - 2.6, but should wait for 2.7, say so too.
I have gotten offers about web space for this, and my free web server
is still messed up, so I might take you up on that.
Enough talk. It's attached inline (i.e., scroll down).
