Wish-list for Linux 2.0:

o *All* printk's statements get a logging level assigned to them.
o "Socket destroy delayed" nuked
o TCP layer stabilized
o Victim-list included in kernel distribution
o Removal of the "flock()" warning message
o Man files updated accordingly [some still say Linux 0.99]
(not necessarily kernel-related, but it would be nice to have the new
features/system-calls documented properly )
o Make sure not to jump the gun to 2.0 while things are still unstable

Wish-list for Linux post-2.0:

o Modules/kernel throw away init. code when complete
o PnP support
o replace 'selection' code with kmouse
o Better console interaction between X, DOSEmu, SVGATextMode [might not be
kernel issue]
o 'linux/drivers' split into architecture specific branches
o Option to throw away 'other' architecture code
o Various 'README' files in various directories stuck where they should be, in
'Documentation'
o Cleaner kmalloc
o SBPCD seperated into drive families - taking out support for TEAC and the
other 'families' that don't pertain to my setup resulted in a 50% reduction
in code-size.
o 'vmlinuz' created as a symlink pointing to 'vmlinuz_x.x.xxx' , same with
System.map. That way, no need to go probing to the file looking for version
signature.
