We're on a dev kernel right now, correct? (yes) Why do we have a dev kernel?
(to add new features and "fix" things) Is it appropriate to try the stack
patch in a dev kernel, or wait another year for 2.3? (stick it in with it as
default, wait for the screams -- if they come, fix or non-default)
This is a very compelling feature in my mind, and adds a measure of credibility
to Linux as an OS for mission critical use. Unfortunately I know a few ISP types
that scoff at Linux because it's hackable, and their BSDI & FreeBSD is less
hackable. (one's proprietary, the other has little userbase, go figure)
This feature would make a great press release!
