Do you get the impression also that getting any real questions addressed is a bit difficult? ;-) (Still no response to my original *polite* inquiry...) (<-- look Alan, no caps!)

My question still remains: What is a feature, and what is a bug fix? And what are the real criteria for making it into the kernel? "Technical merit" is not an acceptable answer. On "technical merit" Linux makes a horrible can opener. (But I'm sure a salesman could sell it as such anyway...)
